Sarah spent too much time on manual tasks, feeling reactive rather than proactive. Too little time left for what actually matters: leading and developing her consultants.
Hard to quickly identify who had the right skills for a specific project. Resource allocation relied on memory and key people rather than data.
Sales and staffing were not connected. Sarah did not know who was available or what could be sold, leading to missed engagements and bench time.
Tailoring a CV for each client request was a slow, manual process. Hours that should have been spent on coaching and business development.
Sarah wanted to coach and develop her team but could not find the time. She knew it was critical for retention and engagement, but admin took too much space.
