In this special episode featuring Ben Edwards from CMap, we unpack how boutique consultancies can streamline operations and drive sustainable growth.
From ditching spreadsheets to optimising pricing and clearer staff utilisation, Ben shares how CMap helps firms boost profitability and bring structure to the chaos of scaling. CMap is an industry-tailored, cloud-based CRM, and project & resource management platform.
We also explore key trends shaping the UK boutique consulting landscape, the impact of AI on the industry, and evolving models in independent consulting and smarter resourcing.
For growing consultancies looking to have the right systems in place to scale effectively, or more mature firms seeking to reevaluate their internal workflows - this might be just what you need.
