Our approach in Consultancy Services

IIM Mumbai’s faculty socialists (one or more) conduct PRE-CONSULTANCY SURVEY (PCS) on nominal charges for 1 or 2 days in the organization; meet key executives in order to identify and define the problem and develop a CONSULTANCY PROPOSAL with terms of reference, estimated consultancy fee and duration for completing the assignment.

100% of the Consultancy Fee is payable in advance, before commencement of the assignment. IIM Mumbai encourages a participative approach and joint study with executives, staff and employees of the organization during the detailed consultancy assignment. This provides as opportunity for client personnel to understand the nature of problem(s). approach to the solution (s) and have training on the job. This also helps in smoothly implementing the recommendations evolved as a result of joint study, particularly in the sensitive areas e.g. wage/ salary matters and workload studies, etc.
