No More Consultants: We Know More Than We Think By Geoff Parcell & Chris Collison

To be published by Wiley, September 2009

Knowledge management can be an expensive business. Capital is thrown at consultants able to find something that was under managers’ noses the whole time.  It is about time organisations get wise and learn how to manage their resources.

No More Consultants aims to avoid the old tale of the consultant who borrows your watch to tell you the time, then walks off with the watch!  This is becoming ever more relevant as the current climate is requiring businesses to reduce the amount of wasted time and money to ensure survival.

Following on from the authors’ last book Learning to Fly, also published by Wiley in 2004, ‘The River Diagram’, a tool to improve organisational efficiency, designed and created in-house at BP, is extended and improved in this book.
