Ever since I can remember, I’ve enjoyed reading funny stuff. As a kid, we subscribed to the Reader’s Digest. And I would always go through and read the jokes in the funny sections: Laugher is the Best Medicine, Humor in Uniform, and Criminals are Funny. And a million years later we still get Reader’s Digest and I continue to read those sections. It’s a sickness.

You, the consultant, want to earn more money in your consulting practice. You might be familiar with the principles of value-based pricing — but for whatever reason, you’re not applying the principles in your business. Here’s the truth — you could be earning far more by implementing value-based pricing.

One of the great benefits of the 2 Second Lean approach to lean is the way that it gets everyone engaged in kaizen with simple improvements. The genius of Paul Akers’ approach is the low barrier to entry for workers. But as I’ve written about before , the problem with 2 Second Lean is the high barrier to entry for leadership. If leaders aren’t completely, continuously, and passionately involved as improvers and cheerleaders, it just doesn’t work.

Some of my clients have struggled with their project governance as they move to agile approaches. In the past, they've asked for estimates and costs—by requirement—and then tracked the variance for those estimates and costs. The governance people do not record assumptions. They only record estimates and actuals. They want to “measure” the project success by adherence to estimates of date and costs, not by when the project creates which kind of value.

Consulting firms are sweating assets, but not in the conventional sense. “We have more assets than you,” they boast, fuelled by the recognition that clients are looking for something tangible alongside traditional consulting work. The concept of a product has always been a problematic one for consulting firms.
