Projects and retainers — operating within the Professional Services operational architecture, with capabilities, data fields, and workflows configured for how a consulting actually manages its day-to-day operations.
A consulting practice sells expertise and the results that expertise produces — but the business of consulting also requires managing a project pipeline, a team utilisation rate, client billing and a relationship development process that keeps the next engagement coming in. The consultancies that grow profitably are the ones that manage both sides of that equation: excellent delivery and effective business operations.
Consultants are delivering client work, preparing for client meetings and writing proposals simultaneously. Utilisation tracking is done from timesheets that are submitted weekly but never analysed against billing targets in real time. The partner pipeline is managed from memory and personal email. When a project ends, there's no systematic follow-up to identify the next engagement opportunity with that client.
These are the capabilities configured for this template. Start with them, then adjust to your process — nothing invented, only what a consulting actually uses.
Keep the team organized and shifts covered.
Hire the people you need without losing track of candidates.
Deploy from the Professional Services operational baseline—shared capabilities, field structures, and workflow logic—then extend it with the data models, process steps, and reporting formats specific to a consulting operation. The architecture configures around your internal processes and scales as your business grows.
