Logo: Feedburner Replace management consultant methodologies with actual business organization and management

By: Harry Greene

20th century management consultants lay organization and management structures over the business

Management consultants today use 20th century management to lay structures over the business. Organization studies lay an organization chart, reporting relationships, position descriptions, etc over the business. Planning studies lay corporate strategies, plans, and budgets over the business. Management improvement programs lay function, financial and cost account, quality, performance management, process, and system structures over the business. The actual business remains hidden below the structures and cannot be managed to know capital worth, performance costs, and result value.

20th century management consultants use methodologies to lay structures over the business

Management consultants have contrived various methodologies to produce client deliverables. This enables inexperienced consultants to be used, rather than utilizing professionals to solve specific client problems. The methodologies implement a structure over the business and assume that one fits all businesses. Solving specific business problems or integrating the structure with other structures is “outside the scope” of the services. Client personnel are trained to operate and maintain the structure, but do not understand the rationale or business application. Projects often encounter problems or resistance limiting the value received by the client and damaging the image of the consultant.
