Consultancy
In business, the meaning of the word “consultancy” seems to have a wide range of interpretations, and can cover a number of different types of service. I interpret its meaning as simply: “to provide advice”. That is to say that I see it as an opportunity to help. I have a lot of very useful skills and I enjoy the opportunity to share them.
This doesn’t mean that I have all the answers, but I do have a lot of experience of both document production and design. Since I began trading in 1989 I have worked on a wide range of projects, and have developed and refined my working methods continuously.
I have seen the many changes in technology that have occurred, and have explored many different aspects and approaches to document production.
Why is this useful?
Because the production of documentation to a professional level is a complex business with many traps for the unwary. I know this because I have probably already made most of the mistakes that can be made.
My advice can help you keep your production costs down, and ensure that the quality of your documents is kept to a very high standard.
In many cases I am asked for advice as part of my involvment in a production project, but you will also find myconsultancy services helpful if you produce your own documentation in-house.
Here are some of the things that I might be able to help you with:
- Document review and evaluation – usability testing.
- Product usability evaluation
- The design and production of content.
- The development of efficient production systems.
- Staff training and coaching.
