Coming Soon - TOP TEN SUREFIRE STRATEGIES FOR PRODUCING A CONSULTING PROJECT TRAIN WRECK!

So I'll admit this has been a very inauspicious start for the 1 Procurement Place blog. Nearly two weeks late for our own opening! To the millions of you worldwide in sourcing & procurement land who were awaiting the inaugural post there are no grand excuses except.........we were busy. Busy selling and delivering, selling and delivering...or perhaps I should say....selling and wondering how to deliver? No just joking. But my colleagues and I have indeed been doing what we all love to do which is spending time with our customers, potential customers, alliance partners, and other members of our industry peer network. Which is to say that we - or rather I (as I was the original instigator in our firm of the "non-traditional and controversial procurement blog" idea) have not been able to light the blue touch paper on this thing. That is about to change however......I promise! For this week, 1 Procurement Place will unveil the first of its TOP TEN SUREFIRE STRATEGIES FOR PRODUCING A CONSULTING PROJECT TRAIN WRECK. Any one of these strategies, if implemented by a consultant, will guarantee the unequivocal and stunningly visual failure of your consulting project and in the process also ensure that zero value is created for your client. Conversely, and infinitely more sensibly, recognizing and implementing the antithesis of these strategies will delight your customers and elevate your standing to that of "Value Creator"! Can't wait? You'll have to, but only a little longer.........
