Engagement is an Inside Job
When faced with major organizational problems, managers often hire consultants to help provide a solution. As a company that does a lot of this kind of work, we don't find the practice objectionable! What saddens us is how frequently the ideas that most excite managers are ones that have existed inside the organization for years. Yet managers are often hearing them for the first time. Or they are finally paying attention.
