Today's CEOs don't make a move without first huddling with a management consultant – with good reason.
Recommendation
No responsible business leader today would make a move before having a management consultant vet his or her plans. Doing it differently would be unwise. Not only would such a failure undermine corporate strategizing, but it could also result in a ruinous stockholders' due-diligence liability suit. Nonprofit directors are equally dependent on management consultants. They're increasingly ubiquitous and involved with everything. American to the core, with their "can-do" attitudes and confident outlooks, management consulting firms have thoroughly remade both businesses and elements of society in their own sleek, corporate image. getAbstract highly recommends business historian Christopher D. McKenna’s comprehensively researched and annotated historical report. Read it to learn about a remarkable business phenomenon that has dramatically reshaped the world. You can’t get sounder advice – not even from a management consultant.
