"To begin, one does not have to be in the throes of a disaster to benefit from my area of practice. While demanding situations in which bridging the chasm between an unexpected outcome and the reality of unrealized results is certainly something for which one becomes known, it is often the ability to see a problem on the distant horizon and structure the appropriate response that has generated the greatest level of client satisfaction. What makes what I do unique is that I am unencumbered by a commitment to promote a particular methodology such as SCOR or Six Sigma because it is either trendy or has been recommended by the latest expert."

The Number 1 Question Can A Consultant Really Make a Difference
Over the past few weeks I have received a spate of questions asking (although some readers have already formed an opinion), what role does an outside consultant really play in an organization? Specifically, what do they do and how can they help me? This is one of those rare instances when I wear the hats of an unbiased and neutral writer as well as a consultant (I write and teach accredited courses for associations such as Purchasing Management Association of Canada or PMAC). While I cannot speak for others, over the next few paragraphs I will attempt to provide you with some additional insight into how I approach my work. Hopefully this will at least begin to paint a clearer pricture and perhaps establish a framework for evaluating your current consulting arrangements to enable you to get more from existing relationships.

HAVE HIGH STANDARDS FOR YOURSELF
Standards are the behaviors you hold yourself to (as opposed to boundaries which are the behaviors you hold others to.

What are the Upsides of This Major Downturn?
Well, we've all heard plenty about the major down turn that we're in the midst of. The news media is having a real hay day with it all. Unemployment continues to rise, home foreclosures are everywhere, and no one seems to know quite what to do about it all. But let's take a step back and look at this from a different perspective. Let's say for the moment that we live in a universe where there are no accidents. I know that can be a bit of a challenge in its own right, especially when it looks like there's been a major accident on the universal freeway, but I don't think so. I think it's more likely that we've been paid a visit from the Universal UPS Truck.
Create a ‘No Excuses’ Sales Environment
What is your company’s sales culture or environment? Can that question be answered quickly and articulated consistently across your organization?

Keeping your Non-profit Ethical
One would expect a non-profit organization to maintain higher ethical standards than any of the for-profit business organizations. However, the unfortunate fact is that ethical standards of non-profit organizations in general are on the decline, and not much better than those of the for-profit enterprises. A recent report by the Ethics Resource Center says that the decline in ethical standards of the employees at non-profits is at its lowest level in the last 10 years.
