Management Consulting

Cohasset has been described as the only management consulting firm in its field with its feet in the trenches and its eye on the horizon. This fusion of practical experience and vision, combined with a commitment to excellence, results in Cohasset's extraordinary track record of accomplishments.

 

Advisory Service

Meticulous collaboration brings about information consulting recommendations, solutions and implementations that are customized for each client’s culture, capabilities and technology

In-Demand Services:

  • Develop a business strategy that expertly leverages the value of information

  • Recommend information lifecycle controls with business priorities

  • Perform ongoing regulatory compliance reviews

  • Assess information risk and recommend effective risk mitigation

  • Identify measurable opportunities for improving business efficiency

Retention Schedules

Retention schedules must consider the client’s business functions, its business processes, compliance and regulatory requirements and record keeping and information management practices. Cohasset Associates tailors retention schedules to meet the needs of each of its clients. Cohasset’s objective is to ensure that retention schedules are understandable, actionable and practical.

In-Demand Services:

  • Develop new or refreshed retention schedules.

  • Cohasset maintains a database of over 40,000 citations of record keeping requirements representing domestic and international statutes and regulations for over 150 federal, state and other country subdivisions. Our database supports:

    • Advice provided on records management and information governance issues

    • Retention schedules

    • Guidance on compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the use of electronic or digital storage media

Training & Communication

Awareness building, when used alone, provides short-lived results. Absent reinforcement through education, training and communication, awareness wanes as employee attention is diverted to the next important issue.  Education and training creates understanding and support for the importance of records management and information governance to both the company and the employee. 

In-Demand Services:

  • Create diverse training material with content appropriate for company executives, managers and end users  

  • Create content and identify the best ways to deliver that content to each specific audience

  • Write record keeping related communication, education and training content

Understanding the current and future features needed by an organization is critical for developing functional requirements and assessing vendor capabilities.  Cohasset is vendor agnostic, which enables us to provide unbiased recommendations of potential solutions. 

In-Demand Services:

  • Collaborate on gathering requirements, writing RFPs, and assessing solutions to engage technology or other information-related third parties

Operational Improvement

Operational improvement is a fundamental requirement and continuous effort for any organization that wishes to succeed in today’s environment of change and challenge. Along with operational efficiency, it can play an enormous role in driving growth and profitability.

In-Demand Services:

  • Analyze and recommend opportunities to maximize capabilities through process design and leverage technology to increase productivity and reduce expenses

  • Assure that information-related processes or technology implementations produce the right results for the right expense

  • Develop recommendations to contain record and information-related expenses
