“In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognise a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good sales person.” ~David Ogilvy
I can help you choose the right product (or tool as you call in the technology world) to solve your business issues.
Before I go in to what I do, I would like to share a bit about my past experience and why I do what I do.
As a Mechanical engineer and an MBA (Management Consulting) graduate from Hult, UK with 12+ years of work experience in India, UAE, UK & China, I have worked in various
- roles (planning, procurement, operations, business development, project management, estimation, software implementation, logistics and setting up business units) and
- sectors (Defence, Telecom, Manufacturing, Construction, Healthcare, Oil & Gas, Training & Development and IT)
If there was something common across the above roles and sectors, it was immense competition & challenges and consultants trying to address these issues.
A lot of capital is spent on management consulting yet only few companies really benefit from consulting.
Why are companies unable to benefit from management consulting ?
“People believe that management consultants are mostly useless parasites. Up until about 1980 it was consultants more than anyone else who came up with the critical concepts behind strategy. The history of strategy suggests there are lot of things consultants can do for a company that the company can’t typically do for itself.” ~Walter Kiechel
- Management consultants who see value in the ideas are not part of implementation (no hand-holding & no responsibility to deliver)
- Top management that’s part of strategic initiatives are unable to ensure the value of an idea is carried forward to the very end of the hierarchy
- End users are not comfortable with change as they don’t see the value
How do some companies get it right ?
Right Technology + Right People
Technology driven tools are very efficient and have exceptional tracking ability with the right inputs.
“Technology alone is not enough. Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have faith in people, that they are basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they will do wonderful things with them.” ~Steve Jobs
People are more efficient when they have tools to tell them
- What they need to do (Plan, Manage tasks, Collaborate, Manage teams etc)
- When they need to do (Track Time / Schedules)
- Impact of the work done (Reports that show value created)
How can I help you get it right ?
As mentioned above, I have had the opportunity to work in various roles and sectors. In addition to this, I have been trained on the different technology solutions that are revolutionising the way business is done. This helps me to understand different processes, identify bottlenecks and suggest the right tools. Once the process of a company has been analysed and a solution has been agreed upon, in coordination with the partner companies, I front end the implementation of the tool.
I help you to achieve technology driven growth in 3 areas :
(a) Strategy Ideation
(b) Strategy Implementation
(c) Business Process Management
