“There was a doctor from Boston and a lawyer from Chicago, a philosopher from Australia and an engineer from France. There were people who had Ph.D.’s in mathematics, sociology and astronautics. In fact, in the tiered classroom filled with 50 clean-cut, casually dressed people in their 20’s and 30’s, there seemed to be just about every graduate degree imaginable, except one: the M.B.A.” ( Leonhardt, 2000 ).

So, does your website speak the right lingo ? You know how you want to feel when you land on someone’s website. Do you think your audience feels that way when they land on yours? I hope our last conversation spurred you to take another look. On to this week. It’s true that I continue to get most of my leads from social media (LinkedIn). I believe a good part of the reason is because I have learned its do’s and don’ts.

You’re soaking in the crisp, spring sunshine, when the bucolic sound of birds … Continued.

When fortunate enough to have more than one consulting offer, a common sentiment is to go for the firm that is more prestigious or pays the most (oftentimes those go hand and hand). However, I always recommend that anyone who gets more than one consulting offer should think beyond prestige and pay. It is wise to take stock of what they value to see what consulting offers to more holistically match their life interests.

One of my former bosses had a great quote that I really like. “The difference between a goal and a delusion is the deadline.”. That resonated with me. I’ve since modified it slightly to read as follows: “The difference between a goal and a delusion is the existence of a plan.”. To be more specific, a plan includes the following: a set of activities that need to be done to achieve the desired outcome; a schedule that outlines the deadlines by which each activity needs to be completed to achieve t

Graduates flock to the consulting industry for the opportunity to work on interesting cases, get experience across a variety of industries, and build a valuable professional skill-set. But there’s an emerging threat to this value proposition, and it’s coming from within. If you happen to know a young consultant at a top tier firm, you’ve probably heard them talking about it: the consulting industry is moving away from short-term strategy work, and towards long-term transformations.

Working in local government has never been so tough. The economic, political and social context means more and more services are feeling the strain. The outlook is a bit on the bleak side, with damning reports from the UN on UK austerity highlighting a disconnect between policy and reality. For many leaders of councils, this is a worrying time – knowing that services need to change to meet need, but also balancing that demand with the fact that fewer resources are available means making some har

In the five years since the Harvard Business Review published its article, Consulting on the Cusp of Disruption, the term “disruption” has continually been on consultants’ lips. It’s been an opportunity to talk to clients about innovation and potentially disruptive change: Could they be the next to be Nexflix-ed? Would their industry be Uber-ed? But five years on, we don’t see much sign of disruption in the consulting industry itself.

Is it true that some people are more creative than others? And even if that’s true, can less creative people be more creative? More importantly, can YOU be more creative? These are important questions that smart people have been asking for millennia. So, of course, I’m going to answer them! But first we need to define creativity: It’s simple: “The use of imagination or original ideas; the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like.”.

It is the way employees behave on the job and is based on intangibles such as the pervasive values, beliefs and attitudes that characterize a company and guide its practices.
