The cold, hard facts about the consulting profession is that most change efforts fail. The failure has little to do with the quality of our project plans or recommended message points. Failure has everything do with ineffective change leadership at the top. It's for this reason, the number predictor of the sustainability and impact of our work is the commitment of the leader that we are supporting, who is ultimately responsible for the change's success.

If you’re a member of the board, you have power because you must approve my operating budget for the fiscal year. If you are my boss, you have formal authority over me for the simple reason that you can fire me.

I know you have a lot of things you're great at and you don't want to have to choose between all the ways you can help your clients. But here's the deal - you don't have to and you actually shouldn't.

Collecting data isn't free. There's a cost to every piece of data. There's also value. How do we balance the cost and value of data? As with all juicy questions, it depends.

Thirty years ago, a documentary about consulting aired. Titled, in an even-handed sort of way, “Masters of the Universe”, it purported to lift the curtain on the consulting industry, with predictably unedifying results. What the film tapped into, of course, was the public perception that consultants were arrogant know-it-alls, spotty business school graduates who felt they had the experience to tell captains of industry what to do.

I think it’s about having a helping heart and the intellect to discover what people need improved by both listening and validating through observation. Then it’s about the commitment and accountability to create the proper changes.

When you bought your first smartphone, did you know you would spend more than 1,000 hours a year looking at it? Months later, can you remember how you spent those hours? When you upgraded to a new smartphone, so you could spend more hours on it, did you think about how you had spent so much of your ‘free’ time the year before? If we wasted money the way we waste time, we’d all be bankrupt.
