Consulting Resources Corporation
Quality Service Since 1981

Brief descriptions of our functional expertise are provided below for six key areas of professional activity: 

Business Research and Analysis 
We are well-qualified to carry out worldwide business research and analysis relating to a wide variety of products.  This work often begins with a thorough characterization of current or expected markets for these products in terms of size, growth, distribution, end-use patterns, supply and demand, and competitive position.  In most cases, we are also involved in the process of analyzing trends in the business environment, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of our clients and/or their competitors, and formulating specific recommendations for action steps designed to achieve client objectives. 

Executive Search 
For a number of clients, our work on a consulting assignment has led to our having an in-depth understanding of the unique skills that are required to successfully run a company, manage a division, or otherwise contribute to the success of a business.  Our extensive list of worldwide contacts is an especially valuable resource for the resulting executive search services we provide.

Marketing

Many times our clients are interested in improving their marketing of one or more of the products or services they offer.  We often carry out specific analyses involving marketing research, product positioning, and marketing strategy development, thus promoting a strong market presence for our clients.  By providing our clients with improved marketing tools, we are able to help them maximize the sales of their products or services.   

New Product Evaluation 
We are frequently asked to evaluate the market potential for a new product or process that has been generated through client R&D efforts, or through a variety of other routes.  Often these assignments include the development of appropriate market entry strategies for the new product, process or service. 

Project Analysis 
Our staff has conducted a large number of market and techno-economic evaluations to determine the feasibility of specific projects. These assignments often include not only market and technology assessments, but also reviews of financing, design and proposed engineering plans.  In many cases these studies are used by potential investors who wish to have an independent view of their probable return on investment and financial exposure. 

Strategic Planning 
On the basis of the independent information developed as part of one or more of the activities described above, as well as information supplied by our clients, we are often asked to assist in client planning efforts.  This work may include leading a strategic planning session, benchmarking client versus competitor activities, doing a PATH^TM Analysis, or providing other assistance with the development of a strategic plan.
