Who Is Our Success Story?

Andrew K., Managing Partner at a top-15 consulting firm:

• 12 years in audit and consulting

• Team size: 15 consultants

• Focus: Financial and tax audit, Due Diligence

• Markets: Ukraine and EU

What Was the Core Challenge?

Definition: Resource Management Challenge

• The inability to accurately assess team capacity and efficiently distribute workload across multiple consulting projects.

"The classic consulting dilemma is uneven workload distribution," Andrew explains. "We faced periods where consultants were operating at 150% capacity, followed by downtimes. This forced us to decline new projects simply because we couldn't confidently assess our ability to deliver quality work with existing resources.

Even with Excel and Jira data, we struggled to identify who was genuinely overloaded versus who had bandwidth available."

How Did This Impact the Business?

The consequences were significant:

1. Lost revenue opportunities

2. Quality compromises due to overwhelmed consultants

3. Mid-project resignations from burnout

4. Limited growth potential

"Hiring wasn't a viable solution," Andrew notes. "Senior consultants command high salaries, and training juniors takes at least a year."
