Common Questions About Business Consulting

Get answers to the questions we hear most from organisations considering consulting partnerships.

Use an external consultant when you need objective perspective free from internal politics. Or when the expertise is specialist, the work is time-bound, or you need to accelerate a priority without pulling your team off core work. Internal teams own ongoing operations and institutional knowledge. Consultants are best at problem diagnosis, strategy design and capability-building sprints.
Large firms like McKinsey, Deloitte or KPMG are built for enterprise clients with long timelines and large budgets. Projects are usually staffed with junior analysts under a senior partner who rarely appears on-site. A boutique like Chase & Marshal gives you direct access to senior consultants at every stage. You get faster mobilisation, lower cost and recommendations built for SME and mid-market context — not enterprise templates retrofitted.
The terms are often used interchangeably. Historically, management consulting meant top-tier strategy firms advising large corporates. Business consulting now describes a broader advisory service spanning strategy, operations, marketing and change for organisations of all sizes. We use the term business consulting to signal hands-on, commercially focused work — not high-level strategy decks.
A business consultant provides expert guidance on strategy, operations and growth. We diagnose challenges, design tailored solutions, help implement change and build internal capability. Think of us as experienced partners who accelerate progress without the overhead of a full-time hire.
We are Auckland-based with deep understanding of New Zealand business dynamics. We focus on sustainable, long-term growth rather than quick fixes. Every recommendation is data-driven and tailored to your context — not off-the-shelf templates.
Engagements range from focused four-week diagnostic sprints to ongoing advisory relationships. Most transformation projects run three to six months. We scope each one to your specific needs and your capacity for change.
We work across more than 40 sectors including professional services, manufacturing, retail, technology, healthcare and not-for-profits. Our frameworks — McKinsey 7S, Wardley mapping, Lean Six Sigma DMAIC — adapt to any industry. Our specialists bring sector-specific insight where needed.
Clients typically see better operational efficiency, clearer strategic direction, stronger leadership capability and accelerated growth. We set measurable KPIs and OKRs at the start of every engagement and track progress against them throughout.

Let's discuss how we can help you overcome challenges and unlock new opportunities.

Business Consulting at a Glance

What problem does this solve?
Mid-sized businesses often face strategic crossroads: growth plateaus, operational inefficiencies, leadership gaps, or competitive pressures. Many lack access to the experienced guidance that larger organisations take for granted.
Who is this for?
Decision-makers at New Zealand organisations with 20-500 employees who want a strategic partner, not a vendor. Best suited for leaders ready to make meaningful changes and invest in building internal capabilities alongside external expertise.
What outcome can you expect?
Clients leave with clear strategic direction, improved operations, stronger leadership teams, and practical roadmaps they can execute independently. We measure success by lasting improvements, not the length of our engagement.
How does our approach work?
We diagnose, design, deliver, and sustain. Each engagement starts with deep understanding of your context, followed by co-created solutions, hands-on implementation support, and systems to make changes stick long after we leave.
