Consultants are not the decision maker, use them to develop best |
| |
solution alternatives |
| |
Good consultants can develop first-class strategic options and recommend the best one. However, they are not in the position to make decision. It is Top Management that has the authority to make the decision. |
 |
Consultants do not have the authority to mobilize resources, |
| |
use them only to assist |
| |
Without top management’s commitment and resource support, even the best strategy only looks good on paper. Consultants could be the best navigator, but it is the captain’s order that move the ship in the right direction. |
 |
Without intensive discussion with client, no consultant |
| |
can make down-to-earth recommendation |
| |
Consultants cannot work alone and devise good strategy from ivory tower. Intensive discussion and interaction with client is needed to develop, refine, finalize, and implement the best strategy to get the expected results. |
