Consultant Profile.


Many organisations can offer "consultancy" services in specialised fields, be that technology, process or management related, however, many people are "pidgeon-holed" by their Job Title or specialisation.

In order to exceed expectations in this role, our consultants have to possess and demonstrate a specific blend of skills and knowledge not normally found in consulting organisations:

• Technical architecture concepts
  [Networking, Server technologies, Client Operating systems]
• Project management expertise
  [Confidence and ability to plan and deliver]
• Management Expertise
  [Motivation, flexibility, pragmatism, real-world experience]
• Quality Assurance knowledge
  [Test management, risk management.]
• Presentation and Marketing
  [Explaining what the problems are, why they exist, and how we can address them]

These skill and experience requirements mean that we have to be very selective when choosing staff; we simply could not afford to get it wrong. Skills House consultants only join through one route; personal recommendation.

This approach however, enables us to tackle a wide variety of scenarios, and be confident that we can make demonstrable improvements to Project teams and IT functions.
