No More Consultants. We know more than we think. October 2009, Wiley
We have all smiled at the apocryphal tale of the consultant who borrows your watch to tell you the time, and then walks off with your watch! Deep down, we all know that there is an element of truth in the story.If we only recognised and released the capabilities which we had on the inside, our organisations could be so much more efficient, effective and purposeful with the money they spend on consultants.
No More Consultants provides readers with everything they needed to tap into those capabilities. Using the tools and techniques in this book, readers will be able to drill deep inside their organizations to realise the value of their existing knowledge. Employees will feel valued and listened-to, and investment on consultants can be reduced or redirected to the places where there is a genuine need to build new capability.
"Look, of course we need outside input, if not we might as well be staring at our bellybuttons. The point that is being made in No More Consultants is that companies
spend pennies in mining their own internal knowledge and expertise compared to the multi-millions spent on going outside first! How does that make any sense or cents?"
