We all face setbacks, stress and difficulties in life. A friend of our family returned home early from a business trip one weekend, and found his spouse in bed with another man. Consequently, he was stunned, and eventually got a divorce. Soon after this, he found out he had cancer and began an intense treatment. In addition, he missed a lot of time at work because of his health, where he ended up being re-organized into a lay off.

Here in the United States, we have an idiomatic expression that says to avoid “shooting yourself in the foot.”. If you’re holding a weapon in your hand, you want to avoid accidentally firing it and shooting yourself in the foot. While such an injury won’t kill you, it will most certainly be painful. More importantly, such an outcome is entirely preventable.

What would be real magic? Making something instantly appear out of nowhere. Or disappear. And we know, according to proven scientific principles, we cannot transcend the physical laws of the universe. We can’t turn the moon into the sun with a wave of a wand and a spell. But we actually can. We can do exactly that in a certain reality. And that’s the reality of IMAGINATION.

Back in January, I started working in an internal strategy function at Boston Consulting Group’s Digital Ventures.

Having studied management in both my bachelor and master degree, I found it of great interest to see the way in which management was set up and run in different environments and I learned a lot about people, management and leadership in t

Regular readers of this blog will know that there’s a disconnect between what clients and consultants say about outcome-based payment methods and what happens in practice. In essence: lots of talk distils down into a very small percentage of fees being genuinely at stake. One of the reasons why value-based pricing is so difficult is that we don’t know enough about the value clients are looking for when they hire consultants.

My recent trip to Malta and Croatia reemphasized some customer service points. The server would ask if I wanted warm milk with my coffee. Why on earth would you put cold milk in hot coffee? The servers brought the credit card machine to the table, so that my card never left my possession or sight. The airport flight screens indicated how far a walk it was in minutes from that point to the gate of my flight.
