As a consultant, one of my favorite things has been discovering podcasting and using it as a way to engage with people. Using my podcast to reach out to industry leaders and connect with my target audience and clients has been extremely effective and rewarding. Prior to becoming a consultant, I worked for Fortune 500.

LinkedIn is an often overlooked part of the management consulting application. A candidate might spend hours on their resume and cover letter but put little thought into their LinkedIn profile other than a profile picture and a cheesy blurb in the “about” section. LinkedIn is actually a key part of the management consulting application. Although it may be less important than a resume, it is a crucial way to sell yourself as a qualified candidate.

I find it really hard to say no to colleagues’ requests – never mind my manager – and I feel like I’m drowning at times. Help! Ah, yes – you’re not alone. One of the biggest challenges participants talk about on our management training courses is ‘I just don’t know how to say no.’ Like many people, it sounds as though you want to be a team player and so end up saying yes to every request that comes your way – whatever your own pressing priorities.

Machine learning has an “AI” problem. With new breathtaking capabilities from generative AI released every several months — and AI hype escalating at an even higher rate — it’s high time we differentiate most of today’s practical ML projects from those research advances. This begins by correctly naming such projects: Call them “ML,” not “AI.” Including all ML initiatives under the “AI” umbrella oversells and misleads, contributing to a high failure rate for ML business deployments.

Incorporating generative AI (gen AI) into your sales process can speed up your wins through improved efficiency, personalized customer interactions, and better informed decision- making. Gen AI is a game changer for busy salespeople and can reduce time-consuming tasks, such as customer research, note-taking, and writing emails, and provide insightful data analysis and recommendations.

Last year, after 2.5 years in management consulting, I transitioned to a Fortune 50 US company in an internal strategy role. Having had about a year on the new job, I want to highlight the benefits of this transition to give the many consultants out there some perspective. Before outlining the benefits of internal strategy, I want to highlight a few things: I generally enjoyed my time as a consultant and view the firm I left with high regard.

A poem in six stanzas Shall I compare AI to a summer’s day? It’s bright and warm, like the sun’s rays. But AI is more than just a season, It’s a tool for consultants, with the power to reason. It helps them solve problems, with its computational might, And brings shrewd insights, that shine so bright. It’s like a breeze, that cools the mind, And helps companies, stay ahead of the grind.

In our technology-dependent society, the effectiveness of cyber risk governance of companies affects its stock prices, as well as short-term and long-term shareholder value. New SEC cybersecurity rules provide a solid basis for transparency. Unfortunately, monitoring the long-term effectiveness of a cyber risk management strategy is not easy to grasp.

Hey! What did y’all think of yesterday’s webinar? Let me know by replying to this email. Check out the growing Dave shop. New offers and opportunities will be coming now that I have a technical issue fixed. Also, I’m doing my first in the new series of monthly webinars on brand management for professional service firms. This is probably good for the folks that are here that sell into the industry and not directly to ticket buying customers.

Of seven people I know who invested substantially in software creation for their businesses to sell to their customers and prospects, two did so successfully and one of those successfully sold her business with that increased value. Five abandoned the projects after at least a year. For the latter group, a great deal of their time and energy were absorbed by managing the project, dealing with people overseas who did not fully understand their intent, chronically missed deadline, and flawed softw

Computer adventure games were possible in the 1980s because of a bit of code called a ‘parser’ You could type, “pick up the axe” and the computer would understand the phrase and follow your commands. In italics, because it didn’t understand anything, it simply broke your sentences into bits and changed the state of your inventory accordingly.
