Consulting

Dialogue 1

F: Our productivity has been down for more than six months now, I'm seriously considering pouring in and outside consultant to diagnose the cars of our proclaimate areas, I think we'd all benefit from an outside perspective, sometimes, we're just too closed to the problems to see the forest for the trees.

M: I think that's a good idea, you know I got a Goffin buddy that runs a consultant firm, he's an expert in organizational comunication, he does't come cheap, but he's an expert in this field, maybe he could help get things on track.

F: Do you have his card, what's it in his portfolio, which firm has he worked for in the past?

M: He's done staff for Microsoft and Bouin, I think he's been involved with Simmons' training evaluations as well, I'll get you his card, you can give him a call.

Dialogue 2

M: I would need copies of your immission statement and employee manual, I would also set up a schedule to interview all employees strarting from the executive branch down to the laborers.

F: That's going to take a lot of time, do you think that's necessary, we need to help define our company's problems, but it seems just a bit meticulous, not to mention irrelevant to interview the janitor.

M: I know what I'm doing, the health of an organization is based on the attitude of all its components, rest sure that we'll not waste time, my time comes with a hefty price tag, and I respect my time enough not to waste it, however, as an organizasion consultant, I need a broad aspect of view of your company.

F: Very well! Is there anything else we can do for you?

M: Yes, I will need to arrange weekly meetings with the managers of departments to march your progess on implementation of improvement plans.
