(Source: Flickr ). “Consulting” is a pretty general term, and doesn’t really give you a clear idea of what consultants actually do. The Oxford dictionary indicates that “to consult” means to “seek information or advice from someone (especially an expert)”. In other words, consultants are people who provide expert advice. We are interested mainly in the consultants who provide advice to organisations (corporate, non-profit and government).

This Week’s reflection point: Last year, prior to the launch of our new The Chad Barr Group web presence, a colleague shared with me that although he loves the work our company does for our clients, he would not do business with me based on the look of my current web presence. I realized that by immersing ourselves into servicing our clients I had neglected my own web presence.

In December, and besides holiday parties, shopping, and other festivities for a lot of people this means assessment, planning, and goals. Some of the most successful people I’ve known are goal driven. Other very successful people simply do “their thing” as they know if they do what they are supposed to do success will follow. Football teams (professional), all have the same three goals.

Customer experience today means everything. With retailers announcing seemingly on a weekly basis of store closings, experience is more important than ever before. Many companies think of customer experience, however, as a flashy marketing campaign, a cool social media outreach effort, or putting associates through a one-time training program. To do customer experience right, everyone might be responsible for delivering on it and be held accountable for its success or failure.

What would have happened if you and your organization, instead of working on today's crisis, built something worthwhile for tomorrow? What would have been discussed instead? What would have been designed instead? The urgency of the day feels like an appropriate reason to step away from the important thing we might have been doing instead. Weeks or months later, we don't even remember what that urgent thing was.

One of the things I like most about LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook (and Google Alerts, for that matter) is the access these channels provide to thought leadership on so many different topics. I enjoy being able to pick up insights from recognized industry and topic experts and from everyday practitioners that are in the trenches. In many cases, the articles and blogs that people post serve as a useful reminder of best practices in marketing, customer service, and other disciplines.

The group files into the theater, buzzing. People hustle to get to the front row, sitting side by side, no empty seats. The event starts on time, the excitement is palpable. The other group wanders in. The front row is empty and stays that way. There are two or even three empty seats between each individual. The room is sort of dead. In both cases, the CEO or the guest speaker is going to address the group for an hour.

If you've ever been rejected (grad school, an article submission, a job) you may have spent some time analyzing the rejection letter itself, reading between the lines, trying to figure out why you were actually rejected. The thing is, there's almost nothing written between lines. People rarely say what they mean when they reject you. It's just not worth the risk.
