[s-cars] NAC - Questions about Consulting

[djdawson2 at aol.com]

Doug,
This is what I do for a living... management consulting, process re engineering, typically with companies with large fleets of equipment.  I normally go in as an independent.
 
I am currently involved with a "crowning achievement"... working with Albertsons Grocers in Boise, ID... whose CEO (Larry Johnston, a Welch/GE child) just recently decided to open his golden parachute, and sell off the company.  Hey, for $40 million, I could have come up with that idea for a lot less money.
 
Anyway... if you'd like help with ideas on how to structure your consulting contract, I'd be happy to help you with ideas.  Contact me off-list.
 
Dave

Subject: [s-cars] NAC - Questions about Consulting


I appologize for the WOBW, but I want to tap the knowledge base of the
lists.

I have been approached regarding a small consulting job.  It is in line with
my professional experience and should be a fairly straight forward piece of
work.  My questions have to do with how to structure the deal with the
client as I have not done consulting work before.

Particulars:

I am a registered professional engineer.
The work involves studying parts of a business organisation and recommending
work flow changes.
It would probably take 30 to 60 days to do.
Due to other obligations, this work would be performed on a part-time basis
- half-days and full-days as available.

Questions I have are:

What are the going rates for this type of work? (is $50-$100 per hour
typical?)
Are contracts typically used in consulting agreements?
Does the consultant or client provide the project work documentation (or
both)?

TIA,

Douglas
