Why FlevyPro is a Must Have for Independent Consultants and Boutique Firms

By Flevy | December 28, 2016

FlevyPro is our subscription service for consulting frameworks and business templates. We recently surveyed our subscribers and learned our biggest fans are essentially all independent consultants or owners of boutique consulting firms.

We wondered, Why is this the case?

The reason, we found, is simple. A core competitive advantage of global consulting firms is they have access to an internal, proprietary database of consulting frameworks and past deliverables. This allows them to deploy inexperienced project teams to clients, because their teams are armed with well-researched and proven methodologies. FlevyPro now provides the smaller firms that same–if not greater–access to a library of consulting frameworks.

When we learned this, we increased our efforts to produce more and more consulting frameworks. We are now adding several frameworks every week. Our frameworks cover a wide range of management consulting disciplines–e.g. Strategy/Transformation, Lean/OpEx/Process, Digital, Change, Organization, HR/Talent, IT, etc. These frameworks are all based on the research of those global consulting firms (including McKinsey, Accenture, and Deloitte) or renown business academics.

You can browse the full library of FlevyPro frameworks here.

Here are several testimonials from our FlevyPro subscribers:

In addition to our consulting frameworks, the FlevyPro document library also has 100s of other documents, including those around Lean Six Sigma, Project Management, Risk Management, PowerPoint Templates, Financial Models, and more. You can peruse the full library here.
