Multi-Talented Writing & Editing Professional

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Specify your general objectives and I will work with you to refine a plan to meet your goals. We will develop a list of business or functional requirements, perform an analysis of your present state environment (your capacity for resourcing the objectives you have identified) and your future state environment, i.e., what you will need to accomplish your business or project objectives. We will analyze and rank potential solutions, arrive at a preferred alternative, determine a management plan, and cost the project out as a line item production. Perhaps most important, we will identify risks to your project costs and schedule (and other, as appropriate) and develop mitigation strategies for each potential risk scenario.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. Technical writing, editing and content development is all about organizing a plethora of minute pieces into a coherent whole. That requires process and discipline and the best results are achieved through orderly planning and execution. Let me work with you to identify deliverables at a macro and micro level, and to develop the mechanisms, standards and practices required to map and present information in way that provides each individual consumer of your product or documentation with the precise level of detailed information they need for their purposes.

Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A. The first question a consumer should ask is what experience does the consultant you are considering hiring have in your industry or professional field? Every professional sector has its own culture and its own set of standards, guidelines, traditions and protocols. You need to choose a writing/editing consultant the same way you select a tool from your toolbox, which is to say that only the right one will really do the job properly. The advantage provided by RAR Consulting is experience in a wide array of industries. Few services provide the perfect fit for more than a single industry.
