The consultancy and research department of the Industrial Management Organization backed by more than half a century of experience is placed alongside business and corporate leaders in order to assist them in identifying and eliminating the most important challenges and similarly, making use of the most appropriate opportunities. This task is achieved by offering a wide range of consultancy, research and rating services to government organizations, conglomerates, mother corporations, large, medium and small commercial companies, institutions, start-up companies and to the country’s specialists and managers in the below forms:

• “Mother consultancy” by the customer in the process of implementation of macro consultancy and research projects;
• Offering clinical consultancy services in the implementation processes and operations of the customer;
• Offering consultancy services in the Industrial Management Organization’s consultancy clinic;
• Planning and organizing applied training workshops having effects of rapid improvement in performance of customers;
• Supervision over consultancy, research and execution projects;
• Diagnosing and auditing (for example, in discovering fundamental problems, detecting bottlenecks and facilitating ease of operations)
• Designing, implementing and direct offering of solutions for solving the problem in the field of management consultancy (structure, operating systems etc …);
• Conducting library and field research work, production of knowledge and registration of domestic and native experiences;
• Carrying out research projects (market and business environment, field of industry, social-cultural field and policy-making field).

In offering consultancy-research services, we function in the below manner:    

1. First step: Before proposing solution and services that can be offered (Proposal)

We take action with great sensitivity and meticulousness vis-à-vis understanding and identifying your problem through obtaining further information of past records and more details. For this purpose, in the course of our (our team of consultants) face-to-face meetings with you (managers, decision-takers and main beneficiaries), we analyze the experience of work groups in order to diagnose and identify the problem and by means of direct and long-distance interactions with you, weigh our ability to solve your problem. In this way, we obtain the assurance as to the effectiveness of our cooperation and the assistance that we can offer you while being able to carry on with the tasks in a clearly organized and systematic manner.

2. Second step: agreement of the parties on the (payment of) wages for offered services (proposed solution)

By taking into consideration the country’s economic conditions, the unique situation and particular budget of every corporation – while considering that our solutions is directed towards and can be customized with your circumstances – we have proposed three approaches to financial relations that can be used depending on your need and circumstances: (1) in the form of project with description of ascertained services, beginning and ending period and specified wages; (2) in the form of clinical services with agreement of the results of each meeting and in the form of specific hourly rate; (3) in the form of guarantee and partnership in the revenues produced as a result of offering services.  

3. Third step: In the course of providing service and project management

Our project management is such that initially the executor of the plan (project manager) who is the liaison of the customer and is responsible for all coordination activities and execution of the project is appointed. Experience has shown that projects do not move ahead exactly as per schedule. Thus, the project manager is responsible for any kind of change and adjustment in the plan, for moving things forward and actions and must ensure that every problem is identified, responded to and solved in the best possible manner.

• Appropriate with the type of service offered and method agreed upon our project team (according to the agreed upon schedule and timing of the project), shall be present at the customer’s location. This presence shall either be in the form of a limited number of meetings in a week (one or two meetings) or in the form of resident at the employer’s location.
• With more than fifty fulltime consultants and experts as well as hundreds of affiliated and part-time associates, we have the required and sufficient readiness to deal with unforeseen problems and major changes that are possibly and probably created during the project’s implementation.
• The manager in charge of the project (scientific manager / technical manager) is one of the Organization’s senior consultants. He is the customer’s representative and is present in the project team on our behalf and in addition, guarantees the quality and outcome of the task as well. Other than during the project’s initial stages, he shall be in contact with the customer in all the important stages and high points of the project’s implementation.
• Our working hour period is more than 12 hours and the reason for it is our presence outside Tehran, in all of the country’s provincial cities and provinces. Even though among the criteria of selection and the values of the Industrial Management Organization’s team of consultants one can name hard work, liking for job diversity and diverse experiences, high working capability and toleration of tough conditions, self-recognition and self-learning. However, we believe in striking a balance between work-occupation life and family and personal life of our colleagues and for this purpose we offer a genial and flexible work environment in order to compensate for the stress and pressures of work especially in extraordinary circumstances and at critical stages of the projects.
