Business is not clean-cut, and solutions do not always entail the quickest route from A to B.
There is always a step small enough from where we are to get us to where we want to be. If we take that small step, there's always another we can take, and eventually a goal thought to be too far to reach becomes achievable.
Ellen J. Langer (2009). “Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility”, p.35, Ballantine Books
How do we assist clients to get from A to B? Solutioneering was the buzzword of the new millennium, but it implies a rather obvious trajectory towards answers and solutions without much time for reflection or even learning. And what is the relevance or purpose of a company if it stops learning or settles for the quick fix rather than getting to the root cause of any problem or challenge?
Dot2Dot, we are not solutioneers or idea engineers, but rather a small team of experienced consultants who help clients connect the dots from where they are to where they want to be; not always via the shortest route, but with the most practical one for the business. We do this with a combination of: creativity, resourcefulness, problem solving, practicality, logic, conciseness and knowledge.
