Specialization vs. Generalization in Consulting
In large consulting firms, specialization is often seen as a strength. However, for non-profits, this approach can sometimes lead to narrow, siloed solutions that don’t address the broader needs of the organization. Non-profits benefit more from consultants who can see the big picture and provide versatile solutions that encompass multiple areas of expertise. At Elevated Business Solutions of Santa Fe, New Mexico, we offer a balanced approach that combines deep knowledge in key areas with the versatility to address a wide range of challenges, ensuring that all aspects of the non-profit are considered.
Why Non-Profits Need Generalists
Non-profits, especially those with limited resources, need consultants who can wear many hats. A generalist approach allows for more flexibility and a better understanding of how different areas of the organization interconnect. For example, a challenge in accounting might have implications for HR or strategic planning. By taking a holistic view, we can provide solutions that not only address the immediate issue but also strengthen the overall operation of the non-profit. This approach is particularly valuable for smaller non-profits that may not have the budget to hire multiple specialized consultants.
How Elevated Balances Specialization and Versatility
At Elevated Business Solutions, we strike the perfect balance between specialization and versatility. Our team includes experts in HR, accounting, and strategic planning, but we also understand how these areas intersect and influence each other. This allows us to provide comprehensive solutions that address multiple aspects of a non-profit’s operations. Our clients benefit from our ability to adapt to their specific needs, ensuring that they receive tailored advice that covers all bases without the need for multiple consultants or firms.
