The Bane of Consulting Firms: Projects That Go Sideways

April 2005 issue of The Guerrilla Consultant Discusses "Character-Building" Projects and How to Avoid Them

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 5, 2005

Every consultant has at least one project horror story, but projects that run aground can usually be avoided using the simple, forward-thinking method described in the April 2005 issue of The Guerrilla Consultant (http://www.guerrillaconsulting.com).

While it may be difficult for consulting project teams to forecast what might go wrong, they should heed the advice of Harvard professor and author, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, who observed that when groups focus on “the things that could go wrong—including nuclear war—they also feel stronger because they’ve anticipated the worst.”

"When Consulting Projects Go Sideways" may be read online at http://www.guerrillaconsulting.com/newsletter/issue6-apr-05.html. Subscriptions are complimentary.
