Seeking Improvement Consultants:
An Invitation to Join a Unique New Service
Wisconsin Forward Award is pleased to join the
Minnesota Council for Quality is in announcing the pre-launch
of our Consultant Referral Network. Located at www.consultantreferralnetwork.org,
the Consultant Referral Network is a unique tool that connects
consultants to the organizations (clients) that seek them.
WFA is inviting consultants, trainers, facilitators, and coaches
that specialize in some aspect of organizational improvement
to join this unique service.
What makes this service unique? Two things.
First, it focuses on organizational improvement. There are
other tools that help locate doctors, dentists, and plumbers.
But there are very few resources available to locate organizational
improvement consultants. Second, the tool allows the hiring
organization (the “client”) to search for consultants
based on their specific needs. So rather than sorting through
dozens or hundreds of possible consultants in a directory-format,
this tool will allow the client to narrow their search for
the consultant(s) that meets their specific requirements—requirements
such as sector/industry expertise, consultant location, firm
size, and years of experience.
If you are part of an organization looking for a specialist in any area of organizational improvement...
Visit the Consultant Referral Network's clinent information page, which will give you an idea of the search process and allow you to register as a user and begin your search for consultants that specialize in the areas that you need. This service can benefit you because:
1) it is a quick, easy way to search for consultants that specialize in different organizational improvement areas. It can save you a great deal of time and effort in “pre-screening” consultants that match your needs.
2) It is neutral, independent, and unbiased. Each search produces a list of up to 5 consultants (depending on how many match your requirements), upon which you can interview and make a final decision.
3) It is always absolutely free for members of the Minnesota Council for Quality, and it is free for a limited time to all registrants..
We invite you to register as a client. For more information, or to register, click here, e-mail the Minnesota Council for Quality, read our media release, or give us a call at (608) 663-5300.
If you are a consultant who specializes in some aspect of organizational improvment...
Why would a consultant consider listing on this
service? The Consultant Referral Network can uniquely supplement
a consultant’s existing marketing strategies. The service
may increase a firm’s exposure and brand awareness,
as well as generate client leads and serious prospects. This
service can benefit consultants because:
1) it offers a potential channel of leads
and a legitimate mechanism to create market awareness for
the consultant’s services and capabilities;
2) it is neutral, independent, and unbiased
(each search produces a list of up to 5 vendors depending
on how many match the client’s requirements); and
3) it is reasonably priced. Fees are flexible
so the consultant can choose what best matches their needs—a
higher up-front listing fee with no subsequent referral
fees for projects secured through the service, or a lower
up-front listing fee with moderate referral fees.
We invite you to consider listing on this service.
For more information or to register, please click here,

(The Consultant Referral Network is a service offered in collaboration
with the Michigan Quality Council, the Ohio Partnership for Excellence,
the Minnesota Council for Quality and the Wisconsin Forward
Award, and available with the initial support of 15 sponsors.)
