Why Listen: Help finding the best problem solver and best practices for your context.
Internal or external resource? Large consulting firm or boutique? Specialists or Generalists? Kevin Judge, of iNoble, specializes in strategy execution and discussed with me the benefits and challenges of selecting various problem solvers.
Key Topics:
- Generalist vs Specialist: Kevin identifies as a generalist with specializations in strategy execution and shares his perspective on the advantages and disadvantages of both types of consultants.
- Choosing internal or external resources: Julie and Kevin discuss the factors that influence the decision to use internal or external resources, such as price, capacity, expertise, alignment, and bias.
- Best practices and project success: Julie and Kevin agree that best practices are not always applicable or relevant to different contexts and that generalists can help adapt and connect the dots between different domains and stakeholders.
