-: I really love that I'm able to
interact with senior managers
and really help people think about
holistically their entire businesses.
Obviously, in consulting you specialize in one thing
but I think just having this window of insight
into how people are thinking
about their companies as a whole,
having those conversations,
and seeing things actually change
as a result of the information you can provide
is really rewarding to me.
Definitely people challenges are probably
the biggest thing in consulting.
You can kind of imagine what,
you have a very indirect lever or a very long lever
that you're trying to use to influence a company.
Often times you have a great relationship
with one component of this big decision making project
so that the challenges are trying to read between the lines
and understand the hearsay that you get back
in terms of the products you're delivering,
where they're going right, where they're going wrong,
and then actually trying to triangulate based on that.
