The life of a Consultant is certainly not without its frustrations but
undoubtedly the most irksome is the prevalence of the “time waster”.
Picture the scenario - contact is made by a company who wishes to engage the services of a Consultant to address the problems within their organisation.
Picture the scenario - contact is made by a company who wishes to engage the services of a Consultant to address the problems within their organisation.
The Consultant spends time studying the brief and formulating a strategy
for tackling these problem issues.
At the end of this initial process (often involving a series of meetings) it appears that it’s all systems go - then the Client goes cold - the time waster has reared his head again.
It is an all too familiar story - the troubled company appreciates it has problem areas but when faced with an objective assessment it is all too easy to duck the issue and try to muddle through.
The reality facing this troubled company is that this head in the sand mentality will in most cases signal the slide into administration and or liquidation.
