Financial Considerations
Read and tell us what you think.....
In the collaborative consulting model, members of the consulting community use the shared experience of others to enhance their offering to clients. They also contribute improvements to the model, thus adding value themselves. They profit from the work they do, and from the work of others.
The system is supported, as much as is necessary, by the Progressive 'Core Team”, which manages marketing activity, maintenance of the programme and delivery to consultants. The gathering and maintaining of programme material, as well as the marketing efforts, takes effort and time. There is, necessarily, an infrastructure involved which will incur a cost. Groups have tried an altruistic “volunteer and sponsorship” funding model, but this has usually ended badly.
It is expected that in return for marketing and client programme support, the Core Team will receive a percentage of the consulting fee. This will make the system viable.
The intention is to truly cooperate with each other, as professionals, in order to deliver outstanding results to our clients and to improve the consulting model in the process.
Tell us how you feel about:
How to value contributions from the consulting community How to moderate new concepts and activities for the programme How to distribute excess profits accumulated by the Core Team
We would consider reward for contribution and have a profit-sharing scheme that re-distributes excess profits to members and community causes.
Tell us what you think.
Is the rationale correct?
What features or principles would benefit you as a consultant?
