Re: Management consultancy?
Dec 10, 2010
Hi Mel
Management Consultancy is one of the growth Industries here in the UAE at the moment, and the apparent reason for the current popularity is the Emiratisation Programme, primarily within the public sector companies, the current ‘apparent’ policies of the Governmental HR departments is to compete for superiority in numbers of employed inexperienced Emiratis, then employ Management Consultants to train them!
Management Consultants can be effective within inexperienced Jr management and some Middle Management circles, they tend to teach people ‘how to suck eggs’ (Advise people on subject matter they should already know)with help from, sometimes a known strategist such as ‘The One Minute Manager’ ‘Jim Welch’ or the ‘Rockafella Habits’ all of which teach exactly the same but are presented in different styles, the only obvious benefit of choosing one over another would be conformity within the organisation and ultimately, ease of performance management by the HR dept.
If your question is regarding the quality of the Consultancies involved? then in my opinion it’s all about delivery, the capabilities of the presenter to engage the audience and get the message over by such methods that the audience comprehends and absorbs the information presented, this can only be assessed from a sample presentation, they all talk the same talk, confidence and personal communication skills differ between every individual.
