When Is a Consultant Useful?

Increasingly, expectations for better, faster outcomes demand that professionals enhance critical competencies to work more effectively with diverse co-workers and customers.

Sittcom, Inc. provides consulting services for management, teams, boards, councils, partnerships, owners in diverse occupations in public and private sectors in areas, including but not limited to:

• Interpersonal Communication

• Workplace Issues

• Education, Training & Development

By blending expertise in training, facilitating, coaching and mediating, our consulting approach cuts the learning curve improving results and relationships.

While reading publications, attending seminars and mentoring are useful tools, consulting is a recommended approach:

• When management lacks either the knowledge, skills, time, staff or resources necessary to solve workplace issues

• When an independent third-party objective decision or facilitation would be helpful

• When morale is low, turnover high, collaboration, service, quality, teamwork, communication or accountability inconsistent, complaints or grievances arise

• When an executive, manager or employee lacks certain skills or abilities necessary to optimize their potential and contribution

• If things are just not as good as they could be….
