Consultancy
What is consultancy?
Are you looking for specialist input for your organisation?
Or could your existing knowledge and expertise help an external client solve an existing problem for a fee?
Then consultancy may be an ideal Knowledge Exchange pathway for you.
Consultancy is the provision of expert advice and services based on existing knowledge, without generating new research. At the ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø, consultancy includes:
- Delivering a defined programme of work with clear outcomes and no research component
- Designing, testing, or evaluating products, services, or systems
- Advising external organisations using University-developed knowledge or processes
- Providing statistical analysis and reporting
- Giving paid presentations or writing for non-academic audiences
- Acting in a paid advisory capacity (via the University)
- Delivering specialist training or expert witness services
- Advising on technical issues
- Problem solving for businesses or other organisations
- Analysing products or materials
- Developing technology or processes
Projects require prior consideration of expertise, IP, confidentiality, deliverables, timelines, and fees. For University Consultancy a formal contract must be in place before any work begins.
