The cult of the client
Real consultancy, hard-core consultancy, the delivery of change is not only hard-work, it can sometimes be a bit, well, boring. There are masses of detail to be worked through, schedules, lists, deadlines. It's not really about being in a field throwing eggs at cows. Full article >>>
Does it help to empathise with clients?
Sensitivity training, emotional intelligence, you name it: every generation of consultants is exhorted to empathise with clients. But when it comes to a toss up between heart and head, Malcolm Sleath suggests that heads will always win. Full article >>>

Thought Leadership
How do you define career success?
Digging deep for high-impact achievements

If you have not sat down and evaluated your career success in a long time, now is a good time to start. One of the areas where many senior professionals fall short is capturing strong quantifiable and qualitative achievements relevant to their industry.
(Abby M. Locke - Premier Writing Solutions)
Outsourcing: Success rarely happens by chance
Outsourcing is changing. Its mechanisms are changing. "Out of sight, out of mind", blame culture and distant uninformed supplier relationships bound by unworkable contracts / KPI's and chaotic business processes that provide little or no business benefit will be rightfully consigned to the past. Mechanisms are maturing. Organisations are maturing. There are greater benefits to be gained. Will you realise these benefits? Or will you waste your time and other resources?
(James Stuart - Celona Technologies, iergo)

"Have an offer to join later this year - it's good (obviously) but starting to wonder if it is worth having no life? (Even for a few years before moving on). Sounds like a stupid question? Maybe but, career prospects aside, what about enjoying life?"
