Are You a Consultant or a Concierge?

Consultants are increasingly becoming indispensible assets for organizations striving to maintain relevance in a world increasingly being driven with ubiquitous Digital technologies.  The incessant demands of dividend-hungry shareholders coupled with vagaries of jittery customers have gravitated mindful companies towards risk-mitigation practices, especially, in terms of prioritizing strategic imperatives for quicker profitable returns, streamlining business processes to maximize operational efficiencies and refining talent management practices for optimizing human capital.

Consequently, most expense-intensive/non-value added/minimum-valued-added functions are being actively outsourced to willing consultants who are happy to oblige in fulfilling organizational demands.  However, such delegation comes with a price since significant number of consultants end up being 'curative addictions', rather than, 'galvanizing enablers' for resuscitative purposes.
