What's Project Fit?
It was on the 60s with tmt leadership
Not sure. I'm not TMT.
The op model shift was totally designed to get partners to team up better and go to market around transformational issues rather than competencies. Rather than selling the skill I have, it forces me to compliment other partners with my skills, and for them to compliment me. It is a good thing but some partners are not used to working that way, so there has been some blowback.
It will take us a few months to organize but it should result in better projects and more work along side S&, MC, and TC people you don't already know. Your day to day (staffing, comp, etc) shouldn't change at all. Your RP will probably also stay the same.
What does the staff generally think? I would love to hear people's feelings without the partner distortion field getting in the way. Believe it or not, I think the vast majority of consulting partners in al firms want to hear what the staff think (although some need to have it framed carefully to not hit the 'ol ego).
Thanks for that explanation P2. I wish they would communicate that to us. It feels like the right change when I see many of my partners just do their own thing and worse when they are competitive with others. It limits my opportunities. How do I find out what those transformational issues are? As a director, will I get a chance to contribute too?
I think the firm was surprised by the reaction to the change, given that it is not so major for the staff. So, you should see more communication as the leaders of the go to market teams figure out what they look like and how they're going to be organized. They also differ by industry (HIAs are very different).
You can also ping your RP and ask about his/her go to market team, and you'll get an immediate download. You will absolutely get to contribute and it'll get you good exposure to lots of partners if architected properly.
