UNBUNDLED CONSULTING

What is Management Consulting ‘Unbundled’?

Our business model unbundles traditional consulting services, and operates in a leaner way, allowing you to pay only for what you need without the significant overheads associated with a traditional firm

This approach results in the core consulting team representing a significantly greater share of overall project costs and enables the provision of cost-effective solutions with no compromise on quality

Consulting “Menu”

We offer our clients a consulting menu, which enables them to select which resources they require given their budget, timeline and preferred ways of working

Where clients have in-house leadership / expertise (or the project does not necessitate this), the Delwood solution can be adjusted accordingly. Directly correlating costs with the required resourcing, enables us to offer clients top-tier consulting quality, but at a significantly better value for money than traditional branded consultancies
