Five Ways of Elevating Consulting Firms Innate Creativity for Higher Value
Have you ever thought about how long a chicken can live without its head?
On 10th September, 1945, a young rooster in Fruita, Colorado, was about to become dinner, and in the first step of the process, his owner intended to separate his body from his head. The act was a blasting success. The head was separated from the body.
But for some magical reasons, the axe left the jugular vein intact. Also, a large enough section of the brain stem was left with the body, so the rooster kept on living, and had become a bit of a showman until it's death.
And the reason why I've mentioned Mike's interesting story is that so many consulting firms are like Mike.
They lose their heads and just run around from project to project, failing to stop and think how to make their work more creative, so they can justify to charge higher fees for less amount of manual labour.
So they are busy chasing after more work and more clients, but all that gradually becomes more mundane and under-priced.
One way of spicing up consulting firm's projects and fees is by spicing up consultants' creativity.
And this is what we discuss this month's inconspicuously electrifying episode of Commando Consulting, entitled, "Five Ways of Elevating Consulting Firms Innate Creativity for Higher Value".
