Keystone Consulting Group’s Post

Imagine the day you step back and see the business you’ve built—not just functioning, but excelling, without you needing to be in it. But this doesn’t just happen, it requires strategic, considered steps to get you there and that begins now.   Points to consider:   - Look at the people and skills you have. Do you have what is required to get you where you need to be? It can be hard to understand whether you have the right people in the right roles to achieve. I’ve linked a blog in the comments that provides some guidance on this.   - Streamline operations with scalable systems. Businesses that adopt technology to improve process efficiency report a 20% decrease in operational costs and a 15% increase in productivity (McKinsey & Company).   - A positive work environment not only enhances productivity but also increases company valuation. Companies with strong cultures have seen up to a 13% uptick in business valuation during acquisition discussions (Deloitte). Again, this is significantly impacted by the people in your organisation. Have you got the right people for the culture you need?   These are just a few considerations, there would be plenty more add, what do you think needs to be on this list?    That ‘step back’ moment is waiting. Let’s make sure your business is as ready for it as you are. If you’d like to chat about your recruitment strategies or hiring for key senior commercial roles, I’m always happy to help. #TalentAcquisition #ExecutiveRecruitment #RecruitmentStrategies

Securing the right talent for the most critical roles is now more crucial than ever. Catch up on our recent insights from Michael Illert who emphasises that concentrating on roles that genuinely add value is key to expediting your business's success.

Transforming Organizational Resources into Competitive Advantage If not strategically aligned, acquiring resources can become liabilities that hinder rather than drive a firm’s competitive advantage. Just as it takes Knowledge + Skills + Attitide for an individual to competently execute their duties, organizations need to transform resources into capabilities which when deployed, give them a competitive advantage in their industry. Contrary to management practice, acquiring the talent, technology, systems, and even other firms are only that; resource acquisitions. They may have the potential to be developed into capabilities that can generate value for the firm, but until they are, major investments into “the right resources” could end up being costly liabilities rather than strategic advantages that extract value for the firm. 🧐Have you ever hired the right person, upgraded software, or added the latest equipment in your manufacturing, yet experienced underwhelming results? 💡Perhaps the problem wasn’t the resource in itself; rather the resource was meant to be developed into capabilities that once employed, would create your firm’s advantage. Interestingly, converting resources into organizational capabilities is itself an organizational capability that firms need to either develop or acquire if they are to have the edge in their market. 🔸Need help transforming resources into firm capabilities? 🔸Want to develop a competitive advantage in your industry? ✅ Reach out to us about #Strategy #Consulting #Services #Leadership #Resources #Capabilities #CompetitiveAdvantage #ManagementConsulting #ModestaMahigaLLC Follow us Modesta Mahiga LLC www.ModestaMahiga.com

What sets staffing/recruiting firms apart from consulting firms? It’s an interesting discussion that often rises to the top in conversations with clients these days. The line between the two isn't as clear-cut as you might assume. Both staffing/recruiting firms and consulting firms are driven by a singular mission: to solve business challenges through the right people and the right strategies. Whether it’s sourcing a candidate who fits seamlessly into your team or navigating complex business transformations, both types of firms are effectively leveraging human expertise to drive organizational success. As Solution Providers, both aim to provide ‘solutions’. Staffing firms solve the problem of finding the right talent, while consulting firms solve business challenges. Isn't finding the right talent also a critical business challenge? Both serve as strategic partners to their clients. Whether it’s offering insights into the talent market or advising on business strategy, they play a consultative role that goes beyond transactional services. Both offer organizations agility to adapt to market changes—staffing firms through flexible talent solutions and consulting firms through strategic pivots and innovation. Equipped with deep industry knowledge, both types of firms bring valuable insights that can guide companies toward smarter decisions and more effective strategies. The value both bring goes beyond the services listed on paper. Understanding the unique challenges and opportunities of each client and tailoring their approach is what it’s about. The difference between staffing/recruiting firms and consulting firms might just be a matter of perspective.  #TeamGTN #techtruth #blurredlines #businessolutions #talentpartner

The consultancy world is going through some really interesting change at the moment – all sized firms are launching new service lines and even carving out entire functions. The challengers are really taking the fight to more established firms as well, creating a much “busier” landscape. We hear of pitches against competitors unknown a few year’s back..   How do the best consultancies differentiate themselves? They hire a new kind of leader, those with an expertise that might sit outside of their core offering. They bring in teams of experts to support this and continuously look at ways to upgrade their offering. The internal investment in these new areas is substantial and most likely will continue to grow. It’s not limited to talent either, with expansion into new geographies also a key focus area - developing new propositions in markets that have clear gaps in opportunity. This is all tailored towards new ways to impact topline in industry.   Executive Search Consultants who really understand both the talent space and market dynamics can act as a “guide” into these new territories and disciplines. That’s why the role we hold has changed and grown so much in the past few years as well. #growthconsulting #reveugrowth #commercialexcellence #corportatestrategy #consultancy #expansion #acquisitionstrategy #globalnetwork

What’s REALLY Making Your Consulting Firm Stand Out in 2024? The consulting landscape is evolving, and the competition for top talent is fiercer than ever. But what’s truly making firms stand out to attract and retain the best consultants? Is it: 1️⃣ Entrepreneurial Mindset? Consultants want to lead, innovate, and make a tangible impact. Are you offering them that? 2️⃣ Employee Voice? Do your people have a real say in strategic decisions, or are they just following directions? 3️⃣ Growth Mindset? Is your firm creating clear paths for career progression, or are your top performers feeling stagnant? 📝 For Hiring Managers: What’s your biggest challenge when attracting top consulting talent in 2024? Let’s discuss the strategies that are working—and the gaps that need addressing. 👥 For Consultants: What’s making YOU choose one firm over another? Is it the projects, the culture, or something else entirely?
