But I beg to differ. There is another school of thought and another way of doing consulting. getting to know your client's culture is not always a necessity nor a guarantee to a successful engagement. I work for a boutique firm, we do strategy work in 6-8 week engagements. That leaves very little time to get to know your client's culture. we are in and out, we do our job and our clients love us. and the work is great. I often find spending large amounts of time at the client site trying to understand everythign about them often blinds you from being able to be objective, fresh, and orginal. my two cents... |

Does your firm follow up and find out what happened to your recommendations? Just curious.
In fact, more broadly-- to what extent do consultancies in general follow up on clients-- collect evidence on what's worked and what hasn't-- and use that to refine their ways of working? Insider input much appreciated.
