Do you have a consulting website? For many consultants and coaches - both new and seasoned - they see their website as nothing more than an online brochure or resume. They believe myths such as "you can't find clients through your website" or "your website plays a small role in your business" and wind up leaving money and opportunity all over the table.

Shifting to a remote work environment permanently for the foreseeable future has become a reality for many organizations. The rapid shift to remote work occurred because of the pandemic. It was a necessary response to a crisis situation that occurred quickly and without much warning. Because of that, we and our team members quickly found ways to do our jobs from our dining room tables with kids, dogs, and doorbells in the mix.

Reading Time: 3 minutes. Every year strategy consulting firms and agencies that specialise in executive business management and the “maximising shareholder value” approach receive billions of dollars for their services (Management Consulting, 2020).

Personal websites. Everyone should have one. . Intuitively, I believe this is true. But why? My personal website, the website you’re reading now, has been everything to me. My career, my business, my life’s work — all wrapped up into one neat, 2-dimensional digital package. But what about others? Am I just a lone weirdo, obsessed with “cloning” my self through my website?

Great change leaders empower others. To create an unstoppable, energized team and enterprise—you can’t just tell the rest of the organization what to do. Instead, leaders are clear with the organization about what success looks like, what change is necessary to achieve it, and why it needs to happen. They involve diverse teams from across the organization in a dialogue about what needs to be done, and how to achieve the goal.

Pricing your consulting services hourly is one of the worst ways to charge your clients. You only have so many hours in a day. If you charge by the hour, the only way for you to earn more is to spend more hours working. You can always raise your rates. But, at some point, there.

This is a repost from an answer I wrote a couple of years ago on Quora. I usually fail miserably at explaining this for some reason. Probably the most common definition out there is that management consultants are like doctors for companies (instead of doctors for people). This analogy probably works for most cases. However, in the spirit of consulting analogies used by guru David Maister, there are probably sub-analogies.

Do you know who your ideal consulting client is? Some people think of an ideal consulting client as someone who would simply be willing to buy their products and services. Here's the thing: You can do decent work with a lot of different leaders. But you can do AMAZING transformative work with a select few who connect with you to the point that they don't just your products and services.

Can public US companies really embrace lean? Well sure, they can deploy lean tools here and there, but the whole socio-technical system that comprises lean? I don’t think so. Wall Street pressure for quarterly profits competes fiercely with lean principles, both inside and outside the company. Executives who take the long-term view and view employees as appreciating assets worthy of investment, rather than variable costs to be minimized, put their companies at risk of attack from outside “activi

The challenge: The world is a mess, or rather the world feels a lot messier than it did in 2019 – largely due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic has been tough to deal with and yet deal with it still we must. It has been challenging in different ways. For some of us, working at home and staying at home so much has been oddly confusing, lonely and isolating.

Some of the most brilliant insights in life are simple to understand but not always easy to act on. I like making the distinction between these two concepts. For example, running a great business is simple… but not easy. You find a customer with an annoying problem who’s struggling to find an adequate solution. You solve the problem. You charge for what you do at a level that’s higher than your costs.

I survived four reorganizations during my time working in corporate America. They all looked good on paper. None of them made a difference to our bottom lines. The reorgs didn’t address the real problems with our products and pricing. Moreover, like most reorganizations, it destroyed the relationships, experience, and tribal knowledge that expedite decision-making and improve performance.

How to ensure people learn, develop and feel invested in – no matter how small your training budget is. The CIPD have released their latest learning report [1] , and whilst not entirely surprising, it highlights that charities and non-profit organisations have very tight training budgets. These will continue to shrink. The Covid-19 pandemic has meant shifting resource and budgets, and it follows tradition that L&D budgets are amongst the first to go.

One of the participants in my virtual workshop on better decision making suggested that I stop using the term “problem solving.” In his company, they use the term “ problem learning.” I hadn’t heard that expression before, but I really like it. When we talk about “problem solving,” we’re subtly pushed towards finding an answer, fixing the situation, and moving on.
