It is money that makes money. A corporation has a lower tax rate than an individual. Earn a profit, give the government a relatively small cut, and then put the profits to work earning more money. “Crafty Consultants, Inc.” has built up $40,000 in retained earnings over the past few years.

Forging great leaders in time of crisis

doctor, physician, coronavirus

How many times today have you checked your WhatsApp, your Instagram or Facebook feed, perhaps Twitter or the local news for more information about Covid-19? Five? Ten? Twenty or more? This is a clear indication that during times of crisis we crave information. We are hungry for clarity, for direction and for leadership.

The Common Body of Knowledge

body of knowledge

The Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) is about knowledge and the associated learning. It is not a framework for determining competency. This is addressed by the competency framework, the description of which is contained in the body of knowledge.  Knowledge and learning are the inputs in a process which results in competency, which is the output of outcomes based learning.

The state of outsourcing in SA

Outsourcing is an executive tool that can reduce/contain costs, mitigate risk, eliminate areas of capital expenditure, move fixed costs to variable costs and reduce headcount. Outsourcing has become one of those concepts that has changed perceptions over time. It has been around in one form or another for many years, but the staggering growth of the market has refocused attention on the reasons, benefits and pitfalls of these increasingly important decisions. Many large organisations have embarked on huge cost-cutting exercises over the last few years. The glaring exception in many cases has been IT, which in some cases has risen by as much as 20% per year. The argument may be that effective application of IT has resulted in some of these savings, although that needs to be proven or justified in each case.

Wherefore the consultant

Nobody knows everything. All too often our own interests, our limited skills and the immediacy of our problems cloud our ability to make sound judgements, or even to see a solution.

Anxiety- The Consultant’s Unwelcome Companion

As Sigmund Freud discerned about 75 years ago, certain situations in life create fearlike reactions and dis­comfort for no “logical” reason. Starting from earliest childhood, each person develops a unique sus­ceptibility to this discomfort, which is known as anxiety. It is easy to see the dynamic in extreme cases. We all know people who are […]

Profile of the Consultant Entrepreneur

Starting a new business is an extraordinary act, carried out despite claims of high failure rates for startups, discouragement by friends and family, and high uncertainty. The conventional wisdom concerning failures of business startups commonly quotes failure rates ranging from 65% by the third year to 90% in the first year.1 How then does anyone dare to start a new business?

The Independent Consultant as Equilateralist (Part 1)

Long term, most independent con­sultants and heads of smaller firms will subsist at best and starve at worst. The tragedy lies in the relative ease with which both these sorry states can be replaced by success. It’s a matter of orientation, and many independent con­sultants have the wrong one. They do not see themselves as businesspeople. They see themselves as management consul­tants, organization development (OD) consultants, as system integrators, as Web or e-business consultants, or as almost anything except businesspeople running a small business, bent on earning a profit.

The Independent Consultant as Equilateralist (Part 3)

This is the last of a three-part series proposing the need for independent consultants to be as well-grounded in business management as they are in their technical specialities and consulting skills. Part 1 set forth the notion of a successful independent consultant as an “equilateralist”—blending and balancing technical, consulting, and business skills. Part 2 introduced the first four of eight commandments that form the foundation for our own businesses as independent consultants. This article presents the second set of commandments.

As complexity in­creases, the need becomes pressing for someone with sufficient knowl­edge and expertise to put data into perspective, explain how it is used, what it means, and why it is rele­vant.
