The main option is to take on internally some of the 60 to 70% of assignment time spent on collection and coordination. Preparing your data before the consultant arrives (energy, management accounts export, fleet, travel and freight) saves 3 to 5 days. An internal contact who chases responses and coordinates teams saves 1 to 3, and keeping the consultant focused on scoping, emission factors, analysis and the action plan saves 1 to 2. Learning the basics accelerates decisions. An SME assignment thus falls from 10-15 days to 7-10 days, or 30 to 50% savings.
