THE ELEPHANT
Once upon a time there was an old Indian craftsman, who carved amazing elephants from blocks of wood. When people asked him how he did it he would reply “I just cut away the wood that doesn’t look like an elephant…”
We like this story; we have found it repeated in a number of places. For us, it represents what we seek to do in our consultancy work. We don’t like the word ‘consultancy’ as it has developed connotations. We prefer to think of ourselves as skilled helpers, bringing solutions that really address your specific needs, and helping you to find the elephant hiding in the woods.
No-one ever uses consultancy support for the easy stuff. Because we have a highly skilled team of people with a long track record in the public sector and the ‘NHS family’, we can save you time and money by cutting to the chase without undue delay.
Sorry about all the metaphors…we like metaphors…they can be very useful!
