Hi! I’m on the corporate side and had a quick question. We work with a bunch of consulting firms (e.g., McKinsey, Deloitte, and LEK) and I’m putting together a leadership offsite. I’m pretty sure I can get at least one of these for some sort of leadership / strategy session. Sounds stupid but what kinds of sessions should I be asking when my team asks for what they can offer (as a freebie lol)

Who let the client in?

You could keep the ask open ended and instead provide context into the objectives of your offsite and ask “what offerings do you have that would support our offsite objectives?” All these firms would be happy to loop in the right teams so they would first go and get the right person and then they’d follow up with you or potentially a leader and provide some offerings and you can compare.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Can folks here advise me on what would be a good app to use to create a personal kanan board sort of thing? I essentially want to keep track of various tasks I need to do for a variety of different goals. I keep thinking the tasks board we have in Teams channels would be good if only I had that for personal use.

Really appreciate all inputs. Would like to spend as little money as possible.
