Coordinating Consultant

Coordination is the process of synchronizing activities of multiple people in an organization with the effort to achieve specific goals. Coordination is carried out on every single level of management. At the top, the chief executive will coordinate the activities of functional or departmental managers. If there is a lack of coordination between production and the sales personnel department then either production will suffer or sales will suffer. It is believed that co-ordination can be achieved effortlessly with acts of direct interpersonal relationships and personal communication, which will make both parties in agreement on the methods, actions and ultimate achievements. However, the possibilities of conflict and misunderstanding always remain. These can be sorted out by direct contact and/or proper communication among various persons and it also helps to create mutual goodwill.

In order to create an environment of co-ordination, a co-coordinating consultant is brought in to organize the various levels of work. They are further responsible for the following functions:
