Angus & Mark

In episode two, we explore how our consultant guests think about value and what that means for the large organizations they serve.

Peter Drucker said that “the purpose of a business is to create a customer”. To do that, the organization has to offer something that a group of customers wants or needs. What, exactly, do they value?

“The value proposition is a productivity improvement. So it means that with the same amount of resource it’s, you are able to accomplish more.”

David Hodes

“The original reason for being to enable large, complex feats of engineering to succeed hasn’t changed. But our service offering relative to that has.”

Mark Thompson

“The challenge with providing value is that [the sponsor] has already decided not only why they want things, but also what they want and how they want it delivered.”

Søren Porskrog

Our three guests in this series each help large organizations improve how they do things. For more on David Hodes, Mark Thompson and Søren Porskrog, visit Guests.
