Many companies hesitate to bring in management consultancies due to familiar complaints—exorbitant costs, generic solutions, a lack of long-term accountability, and consultants who remain detached from the day-to-day business. At Forwd , we’ve built a model that directly counters these concerns, ensuring that clients not only get value but become stronger and more self-sufficient in the process.
1. Cost Efficiency
One of the most common gripes about consultancies is the high cost. Traditional consulting firms often come with hefty price tags, but at Forwd, we’ve developed a commercial model that incentivises cost savings for our clients. By working collaboratively with your team and building their skills, we reduce the need for prolonged engagements, ultimately saving you both time and money. Our aim is to empower your team so that in the future, external help isn’t required at all. The result? You get great results at a fraction of the cost of traditional consultancy models.
2. No One-Size-Fits-All Solutions
Consultants are often criticised for using generic templates—solutions that are broadly applied across industries without considering the specific needs of a business. Forwd is different. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter approaches. Every engagement starts with a deep dive into your organisation’s unique challenges and goals, resulting in a unique solution that truly fits your business, not a pre-defined template. Our goal is to leave behind something that works long after we’re gone because it was built with you, for you.
3. Short-Term Engagement, Long-Term Self-Sufficiency
Unlike traditional consultancies that create long-term dependencies, we measure our success by how quickly we can make your team self-sufficient. Instead of aiming for continuous or prolonged engagements, we focus on transferring knowledge, skills, and tools that your team needs to deliver technology solutions independently. Forwd’s approach ensures that you won’t need us—or any consultancy—on a regular basis. We set up organisations for long-term success by building internal capabilities that last.
4. Your Team from Day One
One of the common frustrations with consultants is that they come and go, leaving behind solutions without embedding them properly within the organisation. At Forwd, we do things differently. The team is yours from day one—we help you source, upskill, and integrate the right talent into your organisation, but they’re your team from the start. Our focus is on making sure your team has the capability and confidence to lead and deliver future projects independently. This approach ensures long-term success driven by the people who know your business best.
By addressing these core concerns—cost, generic solutions, long-term reliance, and external detachment—Forwd is redefining how businesses engage with consultants. Our focus on collaboration, cost-efficiency, and long-term self-sufficiency makes us a partner that’s truly invested in your success. If you’re looking for a consultancy that breaks the traditional mould and helps you build something that lasts, Forwd is the partner for you.
