The Best of Both Worlds
An independent consultant, David brings the best of both worlds -- a consultant's strategic, analytical mindset with a love for solving problems, coupled with the experience of a Fortune 500 executive.
In other words, someone who knows how to ask the right questions and connect the dots.
The Consultant You Need, Versus the Consultants You Got
We've all seen them. Well-meaning (and expensive) junior consultants at a major firm who may know theory but have never actually done the work themselves. Partners who talk a good game, but don't have time to spend on the details. Or corporate veterans who are really good at doing things the one way their old company did it.
There's a time and place for those qualities, but a true advisory partner needs to be experienced, flexible, and focused on your needs. They should also do it at a rate you can afford in a time of tight budgets.
