I've been enjoying the Lucy Kellaway podcasts from the FT - and in one of them she bemoans not getting mentioned in the blogosphere - so here's a mention. I particularly enjoyed her devastating critique of the Deloitte Blue Book, a book of strategy recently issued to its employees which she describes as "drivel of a richly contemporary kind". I mention this as I'm sure this kind of thing is familiar to anyone who, like me, has worked for one of the larger practices - and is in no way unique to Deloitte.
One of the great boons of working in a smaller practice is the chance to be more plain speaking. We did some market research recently on what our clients, referrers, and prospects thought of us - and this was one of the things they valued. I'm sure "management speak" has its place - somewhere. But business owners and directors want clear advice and feedback to help them achieve their goals and that's what we try to deliver.
Hey buddy! Nice blog that you maintain here.. I just chanced upon your blog surfing the blogosphere. I was thinking.. you could try out some interesting widgets on your page and spice it up with more relevant information. E.g try out the new widget on http://www.widgetmate.com with your relevant keywords
