When you are on a large consulting project, it’s easy to get lost.  Lost in the activities, status reports, client meetings, and project management mess.  It’s easy to forget the basics. . .

Get back to basics 

Think

What a great job where clients pay you to think.  What a privilege. They pay us to break down problems, help them make difficult decisions, and make change happen. 

 Write

Great, clear writing is rare. If you can’t put thoughts into words and visuals, you aren’t saying anything. 

 Communicate  

 Share the storyline with the client and experts. Vet the story. Persuade without misleading. 

Revise

Yes, we aren’t perfect. Consulting is about modeling your way to the answer.

Yes, I need to get back to basics

Everything I just wrote applies to myself. Have a few big projects, where I need to think, write, communicate, and revise. Have a great weekend all.
