Why should our company use a consultant?

The four most important reasons are knowledge, risk, speed and impartiality.

Knowledge
TOC requires a fundamentally different way of thinking. A different perspective can provide profound insights and present a new approach to an old problem. While it is essential that an organisation learn about the TOC approach (indeed, training and competence are an integral part of any Ensemble engagement), the importance of a hands-on partnership with an experienced consultant cannot be underestimated.

Risk
Transforming a company within the framework of a completely new paradigm is fraught with risk. The bigger the business and the greater the risk to its future if the change process fails, the more important it becomes to have qualified assistance. The collective experience brought by Ensemble and its consultants will dramatically reduce that risk – clients benefit from the experiences of others.

Speed
An external expert can keep a change initiative on track and maintain the speed of the transformation process, allowing the benefits to flow far more quickly than if the organisation were to attempt it alone.

Impartiality
Bringing about change in any organisation often challenges the established status quo. A skilled external consultant can help cut across politics and ‘fiefdoms’ to deliver a holistic benefit to the organisation.
