I am attending an online short course; an introduction to, and overview of, business management. The course entails reviewing the fundamentals of effective business management, with sessions dealing with the various facets involved.
It is valuable because it can fill in the gaps which often exist in a business owner's/manager's approach to 'running' their business. Richard has obviously done a lot in this field, and shares his understanding and experience in the course of the sessions. Helpful summary notes, and references are given.

Richard assisted us with reviewing a large amount of data and provided us with valuable insights and recommendations. He provided us with a clear and concise report. It was a pleasure working with Harvard Management Consultants.

Harvard Management Consultants through Mr. Richard Apps took us through the journey of Business Management, whereby the course was broken down into smaller and manageable modules. This assisted us immensely in understanding our strengths, weaknesses, as well as to how we can reduce our costs and increase profits, especially because we had just lost 2 major contracts. For us working with Harvard Management Consultants was a great win as we managed to position ourselves better and face the new challenge. We would recommend that SMME's take up Harvard Management Consultants' as their strategic partner in order for them to succeed.

Harvard Management Consultants combine the rich experience of real-world business consulting with vast academic knowledge in the field to offer priceless guidance. With clear observations, my consultations have sparked insights that allowed me to see my business in a realistic but empowering light. What is more, the human warmth and caring sets this consultancy in a category of its own.

Despite its expertise in large corporations, Harvard Management Consultants' advice shows how the fundamental principles apply to fledgling businesses as well. In fact, those fundamentals may prove to make the difference between a small business and a scaling one.

I am buoyed by this expert guidance and look forward to implementing his suggestions. Highly recommended.

WHAT DO WE DO AND HOW DO WE DO IT?
We help people manage more effectively. We help businesses provide better service and achieve greater profitability. This usually helps managers and staff alike to be happier in the process.

Richard has a Ph.D. in Management, 2 MBAs, degrees in Accountancy and Theology but more importantly this is his gift, and he is passionate about using it to help people. He has over 15 years of experience in management consulting and has been expert vetted (i.e., within the top 1% of global independent consultants) on Upwork.com, one of the world’s largest online marketplaces. Expert-vetted is the highest tier currently available on Upwork (https://www.upwork.com/talent/expert-vetted).

We leverage the best theoretical resources available, applying classical and timeless principles to practical situations so that managers know what to do and how to do it.

Our advice is not limited to businesses. We can help individuals, small teams, families, churches, home schools and schools, political parties, armies, and nations. This is possible because the principles of management on which we focus are of a generic nature; they work across the board. They just need to be understood and applied. We will help you to do both.
