Cast an experienced eye over what you do now
Help you make a mission statement or redefine your business
Totally demolish the box that you're stuck inside
Listen well - its amazing how you can solve your own problems sometimes
De-fuse the internal politics and vested interests
Just add extra skilled resource for a critical time in your life cycle
Balance up a team trying to solve those "too hard" problems
A skillful ear to listen to proposals from suppliers
Someone who will ask you some hard questions
Make it happen yesterday
Chair special meetings
Mediate with a "difficult" third party
