The treatment of symptoms permeates the world of consulting! Unfortunately, putting a band-aid on the problem does not make the problem go away—in fact, it is more likely to make it worse. Have you ever found yourself stopping on a frequent basis to top up a slow leak in one of the tires on your car simply because you didn't have time to fix it? What is interesting is the tire eventually still needed to be fixed. So all the time spent topping up that tire is lost opportunity—gone, without hope of recovery.
We call this phenomenon the Slow Leak Syndrome™ and it is the basic premise of our consultancy practice—fix the source of the problem so all of the negative impacts of band-aids and slow-leaks can be eliminated.
Many consulting organizations love the slow leaks and band-aids because they are then guaranteed an on-going income stream . . . and that is just plain wrong! We believe our purpose is to create strategic sustainability within our clients—provide solutions-based human performance services that result in meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
We look forward to earning your accolades!
