Presentation Transcript

  1. All CONSULTANTS are Evil

  2. Some people think all CONSULTANTS are evil. Here are some of the things they say …

  3. They cut you open to gain understanding …

  4. … but then fail spectacularly to truly comprehend your inner workings.

  5. They construct detailed plans with pre-packaged abstractions ...

  6. … but when it comes to implementation “WTF” acquires a whole new meaning.

  7. They have a way to suck out your very best ideas in a spirit of collaboration ...

  8. … then claim it as their own in a breathtaking “I’m a superhero” act.

  9. They whip out their cookie cutter solutions ...

  10. … and you fall to pieces in unexpected ways.

  11. They make a massive song and dance to get you committed …

  12. … then send a hapless minion to do the work (or worse, THEY turn out to be a minion).

  13. They get lyrical about the impact of their awesome solutions ...

  14. … but all you get is the breathtaking impact of their misguided conviction.

  15. They enthusiastically share vast volumes of “stuff” ...

  16. … that admirably succeeds in entangling you in inescapable perplexity.

  17. They lead with the tunnel vision of a pre-written script ...

  18. … and when you go off the cliff it’s your fault … well it is, isn’t it?

  19. They demand your weight in gold ...

  20. … and when they’re done you become just another skeleton in their closet.

  21. All consultant are evil. Or are they?

  22. There are some truly excellent consultants. I speak from personal experience.

  23. They come in with highly specific knowledge and expertise. They help identify problems and create solutions. They lead you through a minefield of challenges.

  24. Don’t let preconceptions rob you of the opportunity to ask for advice and guidance.

  25. Look for a consultant that captures your attention, offers you valuable, engaging information and one that others endorse as a leader in the field.

  26. Look for: “Wow, that’s impressive”.

  27. Look for: “Aha, I get it”.

  28. Look for: “Yippee, I win”.
