Speaking is one of the most impactful marketing methods for consultants. There is no other marketing method for consultants that (literally) puts you in front of an audience of your prospects. It’s easy for potential clients to get to know you, like you, and trust you when you are educating them in person.

Isn't this the essence of design thinking? I have a great wool hat that I wear in the winter. Does it help? Well, that depends on what it's for. If it's designed to keep me warm, then yes, it helps.

Corporate change is never easy and, when it touches your entire workforce, you had better consider carefully how it will affect your talent management strategy. Will your top talent accept and adjust to the change or will it push them toward dis-engagement and perhaps to the competition? IBM has recently made a risky move.
