Play episode
Hosted by
Angus & Mark

Consultants provide value by enhancing their clients’ organizational capabilities, either temporarily or through transferring knowledge.

As the cliché goes, a firm’s greatest asset is its people. We explore individual and team capability as well as the necessity for flow and the power stories.

“When you’re climbing a wall, you get feedback immediately, right? But in our world it sometimes takes weeks before you get feedback.”

Søren Porskrog

“Our clients have good technical knowledge. But they don’t necessarily have the project management knowledge—or know how to adapt that to their particular circumstance.”

Mark Thompson

“It’s about the capability to be able to actually craft a story. Cause we live in stories, even hardcore science is a story, right? That we tell ourselves about. How things work.”

David Hodes

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.
