Every conclusion you make must be S-specific, M-measurable, A-achievable, R-relevant and T-timely (SMART). Your budget must also be on the table to know whether the problem is worth investing in or not. Below are some pointers for your in-house meeting to be successful:
- Describe your business, the values you stand for, the size and how structured you are
- What are you targeting from your advisor and why do you need the help?
- What are the skills you will be looking for from the advisor?
- Define the goals you set for the advisor and the timelines and deadlines you put in place.
