What The Top Consultants Use When They Want To Solve Big Problems

You know how at some point in the year you’ll get asked to go solve a big problem.?And the problem seems so big that you not only have a challenge figuring out the solution, but you also have to make sure you get the good folks, who you know will disagree, on board with your solution.

Then there’s the issue of how to present your findings. Write a paper, which most people, won’t read or will misinterpret; or you could do yet another PowerPoint presentation.?Now I know the subscribers to this newsletter would never ‘read’ a PowerPoint, or use hundreds of animations to annoy their audience…but seemingly some people do.

In this video I go into more detail about the system picture and, If you’re a project person, I explain the common issues with slow running projects:



And here’s a copy of the finished version of the systems picture:


As ever questions or comments welcome.

PS The script for this one took 3 days, filming 4 hours, editing another 3 days, I hope you forgive me therefore that it lasts 10 min and 52 seconds!?Enjoy.
