A consulting firm is a knowledge-based, service-oriented professional organization whose main function is to provide customers with valuable information, advice and solutions to help them improve their management and operations, enhance their competitive advantage and achieve organizational goals. The consulting company's services cover strategic planning, market analysis, organizational design, human resource management, financial management, operations management, technological innovation, risk control and other fields.

咨询公司作为企业战略决策的外部智囊，提供了一种称为“外脑服务”的特殊形式的咨询服务。所谓“外脑服务”，就是指咨询公司利用其专业知识、经验和资源，从第三方的角度，为客户分析问题、提出建议、制定方案、协助实施等，以弥补客户内部智力资源的不足或缺陷。外脑服务具有以下特点：

外部性：外脑服务是由咨询公司作为独立的第三方提供的，不受客户内部利益关系的影响，能够保持客观、中立和公正的立场，避免主观偏见和片面看法。

专业性：外脑服务是由咨询公司的专业人员或团队提供的，他们具有丰富的行业知识、市场信息、方法论和技术工具，能够对客户的问题进行深入的分析和研究，提出有理有据的建议和解决方案。

创新性：外脑服务是由咨询公司根据客户的需求和市场环境，结合自身的创新能力和资源优势，提供有针对性和差异化的解决方案，帮助客户抓住新机会，实现突破和变革。

因此，外脑服务是咨询公司与众不同的核心竞争力和优势所在。那么，如何才能提供高质量的外脑服务呢？本文认为，差异化和定位是两个关键要素。

差异化是指咨询公司通过提供与其他竞争者不同或更好的服务来区别自己，从而获得客户的认可和信任。差异化的主要方式有：

服务内容差异化：咨询公司可以根据客户的不同需求，提供不同的服务内容，如市场研究、投资决策、IPO上市等，或者提供综合性的服务，如战略规划、组织变革等。

服务质量差异化：咨询公司可以通过提高服务的专业性、客观性、严谨性、及时性、连续性等方面，提高服务的质量和效果，满足客户的期望和要求。

服务创新差异化：咨询公司可以通过运用新的理念、方法、技术、工具等，提供有创新性和前瞻性的服务，帮助客户解决新的问题，抓住新的机会，实现新的价值。

定位是指咨询公司通过明确自己在市场中所处的位置和角色，以及与其他竞争者的相对优势和劣势，从而确定自己的目标市场和目标客户。定位的主要方式有：

Industry positioning: Consulting companies can choose to focus on a certain industry or multiple industries, such as manufacturing, financial, medical, etc., according to their own industry knowledge and experience, or choose to cover all industries and provide cross-industry services.

规模定位：咨询公司可以根据自己的规模和资源，选择专注于某一规模或多个规模的客户，如大型企业、中小企业、创业企业等，或者选择涵盖所有规模的客户，提供全面的服务。

Functional positioning: Consulting companies can choose services that focus on one or more functions, such as strategic consulting, market consulting, financial consulting, etc., according to their functions and capabilities, or choose services that cover all functions to provide comprehensive services.

通过差异化和定位，咨询公司可以更好地了解自己和客户，更好地匹配客户的需求和期望，更好地展示自己的价值和影响力。下面以尚普咨询为例，介绍其在市场调研、投资决策、IPO上市等领域的成功案例。
