The Power of the Network
I’ve been fortunate enough to work at a ton of different consulting companies. The most valuable thing that I learned through working at all the different places I’ve been is the value of the internal networks that exist within kick-ass consulting companies.
It’s strange to me that most consulting firms completely gloss over the idea of building internal networks to expand knowledge and improve collaboration for the consultants that work there. This is a huge benefit for the consultants, the consulting firm, and the customers that use their services.
Now that I’m on the other side of the fence and I’m looking at a variety of different vendors, this has turned into a key criteria during the vendor selection process.
