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&#8211;if not greater&#8211;access to a library of consulting frameworks.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8211;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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can browse the full library of\u00a0<a style=\"font-style: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/pro\/library\/frameworks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FlevyPro frameworks here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/pro\/library\/frameworks\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6188 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/flevypro_library.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"992\" height=\"674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/flevypro_library.png 992w, https:\/\/flevy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/flevypro_library-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/flevy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/flevypro_library-768x522.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are several testimonials from our FlevyPro subscribers:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6185 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/flevypro_testimonials.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"646\" height=\"834\" style='border:0' srcset=\"https:\/\/flevy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/flevypro_testimonials.png 646w, https:\/\/flevy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/flevypro_testimonials-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>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.
