Is Ford's auto-xchange the "Real Deal?" (Survey Response 5)
In a recent video that was released by The Ford Motor Company, Ford's Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Jim Yost indicated that the company has to "share information in real-time" and therefore can no longer use "the sequential processes” in which there were many “handoffs" and "transfers of information." Yost also emphasized the fact that Ford needs to "integrate much more closely with their customers, supply base and even internally," as well as stressing the importance of making information available to multiple levels of their supply base "simultaneously," thereby eschewing the current "cascade processes that might take days, weeks and even months" to disseminate.

One other place where there is confusion is in the mixed up of what business coaching and business consulting mean. I guess this is the case because business consulting came in much earlier. Business leaders have been using business consultants to help them succeed and grow in their business. Only lately in the last decade, business coaches appear in the scene. Now this growing trend is unstoppable. This makes it necessary to distinguish them. So what is the difference between them? Or, are they the same? I feel many are not clear on this. This article is to clear this.

How To Strategically Use The News To Identify Create New Business Opportunities
Fortunately I am a very avid reader and follower of “the news.” I pay special attention to the business sections of various media and look for trends, and opportunities within the articles that are printed there. I have made a commitment to stay abreast of business news and can tell you that this has been a key strategy for my marketing efforts over the years. You may say to me, “So What?” Well I can tell you that business opportunities for consultants and others are out there if you know how to identify them. I also know that most consultants do not use the news because they never used some strategic thinking to connect the events in the news to potential business. I am saying to you that once you know what to look for in the news, the opportunities will become apparent. And then those opportunities must be acted upon.

WHAT IS MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
Answering the question "what is management consulting?" is as difficult as attempting to answer the question "how long is a piece of string?” There are two causes for the confusion about exactly what management consultants do. First, management consulting is an umbrella term that encompasses many different careers. Second, management consultants cannot give specific examples of their work because it is confidential and highly sensitive.

Consultants Can Be Scary but Do They Provide Value
As a CEO before I became a consultant ten years ago I had very little time for consultants and did not have a high opinion of them. One of the things that always stuck in my craw - and still does for that matter -- is to see a consultant conduct sales training that never actually carried a bag themselves. Some have very little if any experience in the field as an outside sales person. Even more concerning is to watch a consultant give leadership or business acumen advice when that consultant never had to meet a payroll or run a company personally. Consultants can provide real value on many occasions but they can also be your worst nightmare.
Think You’re Ready to Hire a Corporate Consulting Firm?
Here are 5 ways to know for sure. Organizations typically seek the help of outside corporate consultants to provide strategic advice or solve complex problems that cannot be sufficiently handled internally. Usually, the process of hiring a consultant is surrounded by excitement and anticipation of what the consultant will do for the organization. At the same time, an outsider can bring out a mix of fear, doubt, and uncertainty that, if left unchecked, will act as roadblocks to an otherwise successful process. Too often, leaders call on consultants without understanding the attributes necessary to work effectively with an outside firm.
Why So Many PR Consultants Fail
Some organizations dispose of PR consultants like they dispose used plastic bags. And who can blame them? Too many PR consultants fail in their representation of organizations because they simply won’t take the time or invest the energy to learn their industry.

What Makes A Good Management Consultant?
Many times during the course of my career as a coach to the world's best consultants, I've been asked what it takes to make a good advisor. The short answer - a synthesis of many key attributes - is that great advisors are all about the development of their clients. All consultants are smart, and have good systems backing them up. The great ones don't focus on their own smarts. Their focus is on the smarts of their clients....
How to Become a Respected Name in Your Industry
If you’re like most consultants, the biggest problem you have when talking to new clients is to answer the question, “Why should I hire you instead of Katherine?” And if you are like most consultants, you’ll point to your college degrees and rattle off the names of your clients. The trouble is, most consultants can match you stride for stride, name for name. So what can make you stand out? The Media.
