Consulting and advisory
services help organizations build their capacity to discover and
strengthen the links between transformative leadership, employee
commitment, customer loyalty and stakeholder
value.
Consulting services within Butler Corporate and Executive
Education is both a separate category of services and a fundamental
capacity of our firm. All of our work with clients is based on
an integrated inquiry and consultation model, the goal of which is
to transfer our capability to our clients, thus helping them learn
to learn, and to consult themselves. As a distinct service
category, however, there are several things worth noting about the
purpose, value offerings, and delivery vehicles of BCEE
consulting.
BCEE Consulting is dedicated to developing inquiry systems
that bridge academic and business communities. We source
subject matter experts who have built an impressive record of
helping business leaders capitalize on challenges to their
fundamental business models, devise analytic approaches to
assessing and redesigning business processes and systems, redefine
their competitive distinction, and reinvent their business
concept. Our objectives are: (1) to help clients build their
capacity to develop systems for inquiry, learning, and innovation,
(2) to continually enhance our own knowledge generation capacity,
and (3) to disseminate this knowledge through teaching, advising,
web publishing and other forms of exchange with the professional
business community.
If information is the currency of our digital age, then
knowledge is the coin of the realm. Nowhere is this truer
than in today's workplace. Everywhere employees turn, they are
inundated with data. As the amount of information swells,
management and employees may find themselves drowning in it.
BCEE consulting services help clients turn this information
overload into useful knowledge so they can anticipate and
address pivotal events affecting their business. Also, we help our
clients develop systems to share knowledge, since existing
knowledge is the most important input to the production of new
knowledge.
Planning for the unpredictable may seem an impossible irony, but
many firms appear to recognize that in a period of turbulence, an
organization's ability to flex and respond is critical for
sustaining growth. BCEE's consulting services help client
organizations use their knowledge and skills to increase their
leadership resilience and agility - their capacity to
proactively leverage the experience of change to promote
growth. In so doing, our clients are increasingly able to
optimize the value contribution made by their employees and other
stakeholders.
