Business consultants and advisers want to have an impact on their clients. The whole reason most of them get into consulting is to make a difference—to use their knowledge and experience to help business owners thrive.
A common frustration we hear from consultants, though, is that they aren’t able to make the significant progress they’d like to. They don’t get the opportunity to go deeply enough with a client to make a significant, long-term impact.
Instead, many consultants feel that they are dealing with surface-level problems and nothing deeper. While they’re able to fix a problem or two, in the process of doing so they uncover a dozen more problems that go unaddressed.
Understanding Root Causes
Organizational ReWilding is a powerful business growth framework that goes beyond surface symptoms to address the underlying causes. It’s able to do this because it’s not based on just one person’s experience or one company’s history; Organizational ReWilding is based on research of over 1,300 small and mid-size businesses gathered over three decades.
The depth of research is directly related to the depth of the solutions. Patterns emerge when businesses are studied across industries, and those patterns point to answers that can’t be found in individual cases alone.
Organizational ReWilding is grounded in the concept that businesses go through stages of growth that are based on the number of employees it has. People are the number one driver of complexity—more so than location or industry or even economic conditions. When you add more people to a team, things get more complicated, and it’s possible to predict some of the challenges the company will face as a result.
It's also possible to predict the challenges that will follow as the company continues to grow. This is incredibly empowering for business owners, as it allows them to prepare for the future even while they are successfully navigating the present.
