Fighting for simplicity
Consultants like hard problems, which is exactly why we over-complicate things. Find the simple way and bake it into how you work.

As consultants, we like doing hard things.
We enjoy finding solutions to difficult problems. We thrive on a good challenge.
And it’s because of that trait that we must also reign it in—both for ourselves and our clients.
There’s a simple way to do most things. Your job is to not over-complicate the way you do things, both for yourself and your clients.
Find the simple way. Bake it into your methodology.
Then avoid the temptation to complicate things at all costs.
