You may be focusing on the wrong “level” of your consulting firm’s problems to create rapid progress in your firm’s results.

Integrated System Program. The larger your product, the more likely you have components teams. I often see component teams because of the architecture of the product. In this first image, the Integrated System Program, the rest of the product uses the Platform of Common Services as components. Also, the teams find it tempting to think of the common GUI and API as components.

When we speak, we often use shortcuts, jargon, and cleverness to get our points across. If we confuse anyone in the audience, we can explain what we're thinking in the moment. However, when we write, all that cleverness doesn't always help our ideal reader understand. Sometimes, we alienate or confuse our ideal readers with our cleverness. Instead of showing how clever we are, we can help our readers feel smart.

Academic learning is no doubt incredibly important. Attending lectures delivered by experts is the foundation of a university program. However, learning does not end at the end of class.

These skills are very much aligned with the work you would be doing after graduation such as in management consulting or any industry position.

Few firms have completely nailed the whole approach to KPIs—and it’s easy to see why. Take, for example, the (entirely hypothetical) story of Charlotte. In 2019, Charlotte worked as a senior manager for a manufacturing company and came across a well-researched article by Firm A about innovation that stayed in her mind.

A brief newsletter this week as I head out of town to celebrate my oldest granddaughter’s Bat Mitzvah. This past Sunday, Laurel and I spent a couple of hours celebrating our grandson’s 2 nd birthday at an area “little gym” that hosts these birthday gatherings every weekend for a hefty fee compared to the product offered.

On International Women’s Day in 2018 I presented a research paper about how consulting firms can retain women in what we termed the “pinched middle”*. A common dropout point occurs when women hit the manager to senior manager grade. Often, these women are in their late 20s and early 30s, and just as they’re expected to be at full-throttle with their career, they’re also becoming busier at home.
