About Us

A network of Strategy, HR, Finance, Marketing and IT Consultants

Consult O'clock was founded in the early months of 2012 with the vision of providing professionals (clients) around the world with easy access to a plethora of business consultants. We are an innovative, new age “consultants in the cloud” that combines proven management consulting with on-line mass collaboration/crowd solving to address critical strategic business issues faced by startups and small businesses.

Consult O'clock allows clients to easily express complex business problems online and to receive high-quality solutions collaboratively solved by top consultants based throughout the world. Consult O'clock's global pool of consultants both compete and collaborate using an innovative set of online work tools to solve problems in virtually any industry or functional area. Our ‘Online Employment’ platform provides an online marketplace for consulting talent - on a project basis.
 
We are striving to fundamentally change the way startups and small businesses organize themselves and utilize expertise and knowledge, as well as to democratize the access to knowledge so that expertise from anywhere can be applied at any time to solving important problems.
 
For clients, we provide high-quality, focused solutions through a fast, flexible, and affordable model. For experts, we provide the opportunity to connect and collaborate with peers, solve important problems, earn a living, and grow and develop professionally.

 

Our Mission

In "technical" language, our mission is this: dramatically reducing cost of valuable information through connecting clients with experienced consultants in a structured content format for fact finding and problem solving, using innovative crowd solving and mass collaboration techniques.
 
But to put it into plain English: we are out to crack traditional knowledge monopolies of closed organizations. In effect we are "democratizing" access to knowledge, making it affordable and available to a much larger audience. We believe that clients should be able to work with everyone that can contribute – without paying large institutional margins. And we believe that anyone who can contribute should have access to matching client problems – without having to go through narrow institutional bottlenecks.
 

For clients:

  • Unparalleled industry reach and depth:  Get direct access to thousands of experts with deep expertise in their fields;
  • Mass collaboration – the wisdom of crowds: Experts work on client problems collaboratively. A task is considered solved only once answers pass several stringent quality tests;
  • Speed: We only work with people who have knowledge of the subject, so no learning curves or idle time. We pay only for timely, quality results; and
  • Costs: We access people with relevant knowledge in an online environment. This keeps our costs to a fraction of what traditional knowledge providers charge.

For consultants:

  • Monetize expertise: Professionals accumulate significant years of experience within an industry or functional topic that has a real value to others.  Consult O'clock offers a well structured online environment to apply and monetize your expertise on interesting business issues;
  • Personal empowerment: We offer individual consultants and consulting firms an efficient way to access global clients and exciting projects that would be unreachable otherwise. We provide professional development to our experts, ranging from performance feedback to training and guidance; and
  • Networking opportunities: By working on the platform in collaboration mode, experts can connect and exchange ideas with other experts. These attractive networking options grow skills and expertise.

Besides an open forum, we have specialized Groups which cater to more specific consulting areas and domains. We encourage you to look around and find what works for you. 

So again, welcome aboard! Let us know if you need any help, and hopefully you find this site beneficial and will join us in revolutionizing consulting and making consulting services border-less!

Our Values

We aspire to the following:
 
We deliver the best work because our clients deserve the best.
We know our clients have options in how to obtain knowledge. They can work with outside vendors, hire additional employees, or utilize individual contractors. We believe our setup is the right complement to our clients and push ourselves every day to deliver more than the status quo.
 
We support our experts’ success and professional development.
We will do our utmost to ensure experts working on our site will be successful.  We will find the right work for you, help you in solving the tasks that we identify, and make sure you receive the compensation associated with successful solutions easily.  Working on the Consult O'clock social network platform is not just about quick task solving. It is about continuous professional growth. As a merit-based organization, our method of evaluation ensures experts get the feedback and support needed to grow.
 
We want a fair balance between client and expert interests.
Clients desire the best insights in the shortest period of time at minimized costs. Experts want to work on the most challenging problems, leveraging and monetizing their expertise to the highest degree possible. We believe our knowledge market and competitive collaboration approach provides a fair balance. Clients determine the budgets for solving their business issues. Experts decide whether or not to tackle those challenges. Competition is global and compensation for a given task is the same anywhere. Consult O'clock is the ultimate meritocracy and all our experts have a chance to succeed.
