How to Evaluate Operations Consulting Firms Before You Hire

Operations consulting firms fall into two categories: those that advise and those that build. The advisory model produces assessments, frameworks, and recommendation documents. The implementation model produces working systems. Most companies that seek out operations consulting firms have already tried the advisory approach and found that recommendations without execution change nothing.

The structural problem with most operations consulting firms is incentive misalignment. Advisory retainers reward continued engagement, not resolution. When the business model depends on ongoing billing, there is no incentive to build systems that make the consultant unnecessary. World Consulting Group operates on the opposite model: the engagement succeeds when the client no longer needs it.

Kamyar Shah founded World Consulting Group to provide what most operations consulting firms do not: direct, hands-on system building with a defined exit point. Over 650 companies have engaged WCG specifically because the deliverable is infrastructure, not advice.

How Kamyar Shah Differs from Traditional Operations Consulting Firms

Diagnostic, not discovery. Most operations consulting firms run extended discovery phases. Kamyar Shah completes the operational diagnostic in weeks, not months. The patterns that constrain growing companies are well-mapped after 650 engagements. The audit identifies structural problems and prioritizes them by business impact.

System design and build. Kamyar Shah designs and constructs operational systems tailored to your company: reporting infrastructure, process architecture, management frameworks, and accountability mechanisms. Unlike most operations consulting firms, WCG does not hand off a design document for your team to implement.

Implementation with your team. The build happens alongside your people. Kamyar Shah works directly with your managers and operators to install new systems, which means the team learns the systems during construction rather than in a separate training phase.

Defined engagement scope. World Consulting Group scopes every engagement with clear deliverables, timelines, and exit criteria. The goal of operations consulting is to build something that works without the consultant. Every WCG engagement is designed to end.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Kamyar Shah different from other operations consulting firms?
Most operations consulting firms send teams of analysts who produce reports. Kamyar Shah works directly with your team, builds operational systems personally, and stays until they run independently. One senior operator, 25+ years of experience, 650+ engagements.
What should I look for in operations consulting firms?
Look for implementation capability, not just diagnostic capability. Ask whether the firm builds systems or just recommends them. Ask who actually does the work. Ask how the engagement ends.
How much do operations consulting firms charge?
Traditional operations consulting firms charge $200–$500 per hour. Kamyar Shah through World Consulting Group works on monthly retainers of $5,000–$15,000, covering both diagnosis and implementation.
Can a solo operations consultant replace a consulting firm?
For companies between $2M and $100M, one experienced operator often delivers more value than a consulting firm team. Kamyar Shah has 25+ years and 650+ engagements.
