Accelerating Your Business Performance.

Noirwolf conducts comprehensive analyses and delivers efficient solutions to aid companies in achieving their goals. We can assist in identifying growth issues, providing market expertise, boosting productivity, transforming business models, recognising new objectives, educating staff, eliminating unproductive business areas, revitalising past opportunities, and influencing decision-makers.

We typically ascertain your objectives and explore growth potential to create a tailored action plan. As we gather information, we may uncover operational flaws and suggest improvements.

Engagement management has five main phases: proposal, kickoff, delivery, closure, and archive. The proposal phase involves a project charter that includes a statement of work with background, scope, approach, and assumptions.

Noirwolf engagements vary in duration and usually last 1 to 6 months, so every new project is another opportunity to address fundamental challenges with our clients, collaborate with colleagues, and learn new skills.

After the first contact, we will begin with an initial introductory consultation to gather requirements for the due diligence phase. We will also prepare an estimate/statement of works. Usually, this process takes around a month but can be adjusted based on the client's readiness and requirements.

Noirwolf engagements vary in duration and usually last 1 to 6 months, so every new project is another opportunity to address fundamental challenges with our clients, collaborate with colleagues, and learn new skills.

For instance, the high-level Organisation Design (OD) employs a three-step process to determine the organisation's needs, develop a plan to tackle those needs, and then commit to the resulting solution.
Generally, the life cycle of a consulting project will differ depending on the scope of work. However, it can be categorised into three phases: Analyse, Plan, and Execute.

1. ANALYSE includes an initial consultation to assess requirements and explore options to solve the presented issue. Follow-up meetings may be scheduled to analyse needs and possible solutions comprehensively.
2. PLAN includes designing and developing a customised solution that aligns with the needs of the organisation, team, or individual.
3. EXECUTE includes operationalising the solution, whether system-wide, team-based, or for an individual. The implementation contains maximising results for sustainability through evaluation and continuous improvement.

Before diving into what this means, it's important to note that the typical length of consulting and coaching engagements will vary. For instance, a change initiative may look like:

• Due Diligence – 2-4 weeks
• Strategy – 1-3 months
• Implementation – 3-12 months
• Review - Ongoing

We will require your contact details and information about your project scope to start your project. The initial consultation call will help to gather these requirements, and the information will be provided within the formal proposal.

During our initial call, we typically ask clients various questions to understand their needs and goals better. These include inquiries such as:

• What are your short-term and long-term goals?
• What sets your business apart from competitors?
• Who is involved in decision-making for this project?
• What is prompting you to seek out a consultant?
• What challenges are you currently facing with this project?
• Have you already attempted any solutions?
• Could you describe your target customer?
• Is your organisation ready and willing to make changes?
• How does this project align with your overall organisational objectives?
• What specific outcomes do you hope to achieve?
• When would you like to schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss our plan?

We can better tailor our approach to meet your unique needs and objectives by asking these questions and gathering information.

Businesses often hire Noirwolf Consulting for multiple reasons, such as improving business strategies, defining growth goals, helping with decision-making, employee engagement, managing labour relations, improving digital communications systems, identifying labour skills gaps, or managing change initiatives. It's essential to consider the factors influencing the cost of hiring skilled management consultants, as they offer a wide range of services. These factors include the size of the consulting company, project complexity, expected time investment, number and level of consultants, consultant expertise required, project location, size of the client's business, and client's preparedness.

At Noirwolf Consulting, we believe in providing personalised pricing and project costs that cater to each client's specific requirements. This is because the scope of work can vary on several factors, including the business type, location, project stage, deliverables, and expected ROI.

​​People who offer coaching and consulting services share some similarities but also have some differences. Both types of professionals can provide helpful external expertise to improve a business, but they have different priorities. Coaches empower individuals and teams to grow and develop, while consultants focus on solving specific business problems. Coaches prioritise personal growth, while consultants assist with decision-making, problem-solving, and data analysis. Coaches typically work with individuals or groups for extended periods, while consultants usually work on specific projects. Selecting the right coach or consultant is essential for success in your business.

Our company provides customised solutions tailored to meet each client's unique requirements. At Noirwolf, we place a high value on collaboration and active participation from both parties. Our expert consultants are not merely visitors but an integral part of your team. You can expect a seamless partnership with Noirwolf that delivers results.

We typically determine the cost of our services using commonly used pricing methods in the industry. These methods include hourly rates, fixed fees, retainer packages, and value-based pricing.

For instance, a client seeking HR consulting to assist with a team evaluation that involves assessing organisational structures, job roles, pay and benefits, as well as performance reviews, over twelve months is a distinct project from someone who needs coaching support over six months to start a new business or apply for a job.

Starting a business can be overwhelming, so Noirwolf provides consulting, mentoring, and coaching services to help startups and aspiring entrepreneurs. Our services include assistance with creating a business plan, developing a strategy, conducting market research and competitor analysis, devising a marketing strategy, and determining the optimal organisational structure for your company.

The profession of coaching is relatively new and stands on its own. At Noirwolf, we offer executive and career coaching services; some refer to this as life coaching or leadership coaching. Many individuals seek out coaching to optimise their time management skills. Our coaching approach helps clients become more effective and productive in all aspects of their lives, such as their professional or personal endeavours. Additionally, suppose you're looking for someone impartial to hold you accountable for reaching your objectives. In that case, a leadership coach is an excellent option. By establishing goals, milestones, and a clear path to success, our neutral third-party approach can help you stay accountable and motivated.

The profession of therapy requires a license, whereas life coaching does not. However, life coaches can earn accreditation from reputable organisations such as AC, EMCC, and ICF and complete training programs. Therapy is typically a long-term commitment, with some individuals attending for years or even their entire lives. The main difference between therapists and life coaches is that coaches eventually equip their clients with the skills and strategies to become their coaches. It's important to note that life coaching is not designed to be a permanent solution.
