Practical Philosophy

 

Experience with "Branded" Consulting Firms

Have you had experience with major consulting firms that "stay around forever" and cost your corporation millions? Have the knowledgeable consulting partners from a branded consulting firm "sold" a solution and then had it "implemented" by newly-minted MBA's? Do you have more external consultants than internal employees working on issues critical to the success and future of your company?

My Methodology

To find cost-effective solutions to business problems or to exploit opportunities, I will partner with your organization and transfer my experience and knowledge to the in-house people resource committed by your company. This is the only proven way to sustain continuous improvement and to avoid addiction to consultants.

The "C" Word

One half of all major projects/programs is non-technical. People have to change how they do their everyday work. Any successful implementation must address behavioral issues explicitly. Culture is not a bad word.

Leadership Agenda

Successful corporate initiatives require a clearly enunciated strategy from top management. Part of the responsibility of leadership is a coherent communication plan and rewards and recognition aligned with desired organizational behaviors.
