ConsultantSe
Social Enterprise West Midlands is proud to introduce ConsultantSe, our suite of services to help social enterprises, funders, public bodies and other organisations to ensure that whenever money is spent on consultants, the investment yields the maximum return.
Our services address the whole range of activity that ‘consultancy’ encompasses, from a couple of days of in-depth advice and guidance through to long term, high value project delivery. Although our roots lie in in the West Midlands, we have extensive contacts outside the region and can deliver value whenever social impact is a desired outcome.
ConsultantSe comprises of three core services:
1. ConsultantSe Approved Directory (Annual Registration - £99)
While many organisations will recognise that they need to bring in specialist skills on a temporary basis, it can be extremely difficult to identify the most appropriate individual to deliver. Our database of approved consultants assures you that every individual listed has experience of working with the sector. We take references and follow them up to ensure that what the consultants say they can do, they can do. We enable you to define your requirements and rank the results based on your preferences. This service is available free of charge to anyone as we charge the consultants for their listing.
If you would like to register on our database, please complete the ConsultantSe Approved Directory Application Form and read the ConsultantSe Terms and Conditions.
2. ConsultantSe Brokerage Service
The process of agreeing a project brief often helps to crystalise exactly what is required, and what can be achieved in budget. While many consultants offer this as a free service, it is an inescapable fact that it is hard to determine how impartial they are. We developed this service as a result of the fact that we are so often asked to recommend a business adviser or consultant and have honed our understanding through repeated application. We will conduct an interview to determine your needs and give you totally impartial advice on what can be achieved and who can deliver. We recommend that you then contact our shortlist to discuss your requirements further, and indeed to see who you get on best with! This are charged for service but ensures that the money you invest brings the maximum possible return for your organisation.
