Choose the right perspective
Match the consultant to the problem: former operator and vendor network leaders suit questions about architecture, rollout and vendor selection, while consultants who advise investors or executive teams suit market, business case and strategy questions. Ask which regions and network generations they have worked on, since markets and technologies differ widely.
