The Role of a Consultant
              Rockford, Illinois
Why Hire A Consultant?

• Consultants are temporary employees
• Consultants answer questions and validate our
  concerns
• Consultants bring value to the company because they
  are outside objective sources of expert opinion
• Consultants bring magic to solve problems for us
• Consultants tell us what and how to do things
• Consultants help cover-up our actions for a decision
  that should never have been made
Why Clients Do Things Is
             Important Because ...


• It Affects HOW they do things in the future.
        • It Affects WHAT they do.
   • It Affects WHEN they will actually do
                  something.
 THIS IS IMPORTANT because it dictates

          WHO WILL DO IT.
If the most important product we offer
    is to bring about permanent and
   successful organizational change,
then the most important value we can
        instill is self reliance.

develop internally and enrich internally
 their own producers and visionaries in
             order to grow.
