A recent survey conducted by IBM’s Business Consulting Services revealed that CEOs are nervous about the pace at which they must innovate, collaborate and re-define their company. Two-thirds said competition and market forces will push them to come up with ways to reinvent their companies.
It has been said that good judgment is born of bad mistakes. If this is so, King Solomon in all his wisdom could not compete with me. One of the many advantages of a long career in the real world is the learning that has been accumulated by making mistakes and learning from them. I am anxious to use these many years of learning opportunities (bad mistakes) to the benefit of my clients. I pride myself on my ability to cut to the heart of a problem and to develop creative solutions to it. I am proud of my ability to motivate others by involving them in the decision making required, empowering them to participate in the success of the activity. My entire career has been focused on providing management with the information needed to successfully manage the activity. My education and experience enable me to take that one step further by providing expert advice on using that information to develop winning strategies for the activity.
