Comments on: Innovation - What a Consultant Will Not Tell You http://www.businessmanagementlife.com/2008/02/27/innovation-what-a-consultant-will-not-tell-you/ The art of business management brought to life Thu, 28 Aug 2008 06:29:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Mitch Mitchell http://www.businessmanagementlife.com/2008/02/27/innovation-what-a-consultant-will-not-tell-you/#comment-564 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:42:43 +0000 http://www.businessmanagementlife.com/2008/02/27/innovation-what-a-consultant-will-not-tell-you/#comment-564 Of course I don't totally disagree with this piece, but I disagree with it enough to make a brief comment. Being a consultant myself, I know that there are a good number of bad consulting companies that charge a lot of money and deliver more fluff than substance. I've even worked on a few projects with some of them. However, there are many consultants who are dedicated to their contracts and only want to receive a fair price back for the work they do. As an individual consultant, I don't have time for fancy charts and the like. Clients want results they can actually see and measure, and I like to put actual numbers on the table, without charts, and let the suits who crunch numbers tally it up for themselves. If they want charts, they can do their own charts; I've got work to do. Of course I don’t totally disagree with this piece, but I disagree with it enough to make a brief comment.
