But I think of the parable of the woodcutter who has a quota to meet and thinks it unwise to stop to sharpen his ax--when in fact if he did take that time he would be able to finish his job that much sooner with a sharpened ax. I think these findings prove that point.<br /><br /> Consultants should bring an outside perspective and with that, the assurance that either you are doing things right or that there are things you could be doing better or which you have overlooked. They should also bring special expertise and capacities that you may not need on an on-going basis but which might be pretty handy to have over the next few weeks or months until your course corrections have been made.<br /><br /> It is no coincidence that organizations and markets that use consultants the most frequently tend to outperform those that do not--even during recessions.
