What does SystemsWay consulting entails ?

Consulting is primarily when a corporation engages with us and officer of company who is representing the corproation wants us to understanding their systems and educate them on systemic problems and potential solutions to those problem. Unlike in coaching, in consulting we talk to diverse sets of people, digg into different information sources and never take any information at it's face value. Once we develop the understanding of the current system, we come up with good explanation for managers to understand on how structure of the system and problems are fully congurent.  We then in conjunction with client try to come up with intervention strategies in the system.  So in consulting, we  improve clients understanding of their own systems and provide systemic solutions to improve efficacy of whole systems. Clients get three primary value from our consulting. Firstly, stopping project because they are convinced these projects will no yield any benefits to system improvement saving millions, secondly implement solutions which seems counter intutive but are effective, thirdly clients continues to stop non-systemic solution and come up with their own solution. Consulting involve a much deeper, long term engagement with not one coach but entire SystemsWay team comprised of multiple people..
