(B) Consulting Consulting strategic human resource management objects the object of the customer's decision-making team. Why is the decision-making team? Because the decision-making team to pay attention to the organization's long-term sustainability of their obligation to the organization from a strategic point of view the problem, that is, strategic thinking can only come from decision-making team, rather than customers of other people. Moreover, the strategic human resource management consulting results to decision-making team must play a role in the development of the organization. Roland Berger consulting firm specializing in corporate strategy and structure changes, she said: "Whether a management consultant is willing to make a business strategy, structure and other aspects of the consultation, will ultimately become the business manager to do individual counseling."

It results in short-term performance is not easy to measure, its value to the organization are often reflected in the future, so, consultants and customers must consult in advance the value of consensus, otherwise the project could not be. Mutual trust is the premise of the project to proceed, but also to ensure success of the project. The value of consultation in the following areas:
Provide solutions to problems, such as building human resources systems.
Leadership team in the process to promote consensus on human resources strategy. Rigorous entrepreneurs believe that the "strategy" and its strict implementation can bring success to their own rigorous planning of human resources, so agreed human resources strategy for the organization's value is great, it will be with the organization becoming more and more apparent.

Consulting industry commonly used method is to discuss with customers, together to find solutions to the problem.

Then, research interviews, including interviews and surveys of employees, etc., to understand the client's business, organizational status and feelings of employees, expectations.
The main decision-making process is the team with many exchanges, the consultant's professional theories, ways of thinking, consulting experience and decision-making team for their understanding and expectations of the organization combined with the ideas and methods to find a solution. As a leading consulting firm, said, "The Consulting Group does not know your business or market better than you do (consulting firm will not be more than you know your business and market)." Consulting and decision-making team's goal is the same, both parties must work together to achieve their goals. Most of the value of consultation should be submitted in the process.
Finally, the consulting firm will submit a written report (writtenreports), may be a solution to the problem: for example, the idea of ​​organizational restructuring and revised organization chart; may also be a solution to the problem, such as how to retain and motivate key employees. However, since the previous full communication and exchange of ideas between the two sides together to find solutions and identity, therefore, a written report does not contain any surprises, as Mckinsey & Company's point of view: "Typically, therefore, our written reports contain no surprise; rather, they confirm recommendations previously municated and discussed. (written report only confirmed the idea suggested previously discussed, there is no accident.) "Precisely because of this, the process of consultation is a time and measure, rather than the proposal submitted by the measure.
