Trade shows as a key component of every industry, association, and professional meeting. Their importance cannot be over stated for the attendees, the sponsoring organization, and the exhibitors themselves.Trade show attendees have access to "what's new" in one place. They can check it out anonymously and with no obligation. If they aren't interested they can just walk away.The sponsoring organization sells space to the exhibitors, money it uses to reduce the attendee's fees and oth
Based on a recent interview with Brad Smith, VP of Research at Kennedy Information Inc., industry growth data prove that this is a great time to “niche thyself” and capitalize on targeted industry opportunities.
Consulting industry growth has been declining for three years, and more consolidation is ahead. According to Smith, “Systems integration and consulting industry growth is expected to grow only 1% in 2004, 3% in 2005, and 4% in 2006.”
For now, the double-digit growth of the late 1990’s is a distant memory. Thankfully, three industry sectors are looking quite attractive for IT leaders and consultants to pursue.
Healthcare is projected to grow between 8%-9% between 2005-2006. Public Sector is estimated to grow between 4%-5%, and Financial Services between 3%-4%.
Another strategic trend to seriously consider is that the services behemoths are getting bigger--and are willing to take on more risk.
The new CEO of Accenture, William Green, is boldly going where few have gone before-value-based pricing. According to a recent interview with Green in BusinessWeek, “Accenture will build services so exceptional that they will be required to compete in any industry, from financial services to manufacturing. ”Green expects their new “high performance business” model and business expertise will help clients become top performers in their industries.

In our consulting we believe that we can and will find the solutions to business problems within the organization in which we work. Often we may need to bring in an outside ‘expert’ to show how others are doing work, but essentially companies have the solution at hand. It’s just not acted upon, for a variety of reasons!Have you ever heard of the approach or tool called Amplifying the Positive Deviant, which was created by Jerry Sternin? Jerry and his wife, Monique, worked for the Save the

JUGGLING DEMANDS: All leaders constantly juggle a multifarious array of demands from those of their organization, employees, and themselves. Good leaders, never drop one demand at the expense of another equally important requirement. They give each demand its fair share, while balancing the organizational goals with their employees’ needs, while still fulfilling their own personal/professional purposes. Successful leaders meet both these business and personal needs through their staff. They learn

The wrong entertainment can ruin an event and, worse yet, project the wrong image about your organization. The right entertainment creates a positive buzz among participants and a favorable impression about your company or non-profit.How do you tell right from wrong when booking entertainment? The more you know – both about your event and the talent available – the better off you will be.1. Know your objective. What do you want your event to say about your organization? Do

Collect them all!Over the course of six months in my pursuit of a new job, I have talked to recruiters on a daily basis. I have communicated with or have been contacted by at least 100 recruiters. While there are a few good ones out there, I’ve found that the majority of them are just plain odd. I have put the most notorious oddballs into categories to help you decide which type you are dealing with. Unfortunately, I speak from personal experience and I have crossed paths with a
For any firm that chooses to deliver on value-based pricing, the pressure to deliver measurable value will be stronger than ever. Alan Weiss, the godfather of value-based pricing, provides several guidelines in his book, “Million Dollar Consulting: The Professionals Guide to Growing a Practice. ” Client environments and priorities are changing, and this will also affect the level of consulting relationships clients expect. During my ten months of research of IT services CEOs, I often heard respondents mention offshore outsourcing and cost containment as a method for creating a stronger profit picture. Now, those strategies have reached a plateau; they have done all of the cost cutting they possibly can.
Consultants who are committed to capitalizing on these trends should seriously consider these strategies:
1. Be highly selective of your clients by following a vigilant client qualification process. How aligned is their leadership team with the idea? What is their track record of maintaining high-integrity relationships with outside consultants? How willing are they to track and monitor their progress-and thank you when you have contributed to those results? As my coach says: “Say ‘no’ to the good, and ‘yes’ to the great. ”
2. Identify your target market, and focus most of your efforts in that market. Who is your perfect client? How do they behave? How much do you enjoy their industry/culture? What are their most common frustrations
