Redeeming Grace

Management consultants have to believe in the Resurrection. It happens all the time. Saving businesses and turnaround strategies are what they do. They also have to believe in infallibility. They have to know everything and get it right when it matters, even all the time. Process innovation is good if it is based on good doctrine. Do not be too worried if you are criticised for being 'unorthodox' by those who claim to be the 'orthodox' authorities. It has probably been done before. It is often said the old ways are the best. Innovation is often an old way revived. When it works your client will be grateful. Self-righteous, narrow minded and greedy pessimists show a neglect of justice and equity. Those that can get on with it. The clients and their employees are worth it. Once turned round and able to see and understand their errors they can set out on their new way of life. Consultants and marketing researchers can also help in the start-up phase with ideas for new ventures, development and bringing new products to market. Those who know little or nothing about starting a business could use the help of a consultant in the early days. Reason and empirical evidence support it.
