Following are case studies which are typical of the circumstances that confront our clients and for which clients approach Acutel Consulting for assistance.
Case Study #1
Retiree
A long term professional employee of our client retires. The employee has a lot of corporate knowledge and possesses skills that the client cannot afford to lose. After a brief holiday, the retiree decides to accept an offer to work part-time for the client through Acutel Consulting. Over the term of the contract, the client utilises its former employee to mentor its young employees, to review documentation and to assist with peaks in work load.
Case Study #2
Project Manager
Our client has decided to implement a project to improve productivity within the business but does not possess the expertise, or does not have sufficient internal resources, to devote to the project. The client engages a subject matter expert on a fixed term contract through Acutel Consulting to prepare the specification, evaluate tenders and manage the project through to completion.
Case Study #3
Specialist Expertise
Our client requires specialist expertise to undertake a particular function. The client advertises a permanent position, but the only applicant who possesses the requisite skills and experience is not prepared to accept the salary package on offer. The client is concerned to ensure that pay parity is preserved within its salary structure, and is not prepared to offer a higher salary package. To secure the resource, the client engages the applicant on a fixed term contract through Acutel Consulting.
Case Study #4
Project Team
Our client has a requirement to perform a particular parcel of work or produce a report requiring experts in a number of fields. Acutel Consulting assembles a team of subject matter experts and tenders for the work on a fixed price basis.
We can provide client references if required.
We assist our clients by facilitating independent contractor arrangements for professional and other services. We offer a comprehensive service, ensuring that all compliance obligations are met and that the client is not exposed to any risk that may be associated with these arrangements.
