Approach
Nadler Strategy applies insights gained from working closely with Governors, Senators, CEOs, publicly and privately held businesses, huge multinationals, small start-ups, non-profits and NGOs. The approach reflects the perspective of having filled many different roles, including consultant, consultancy leader and consulting client; implementer, advisor, agency/function leader, and Board member; teacher, trainer and student.
In practice, this means that Nadler Strategy engagements are based on five principles:
- Start with diagnostics. Don’t assume that the solution to the last client should be “cut and pasted” for the next client.
- Do work with clients, not to them. It’s their organization and their career, and has to be their solution.
- Always remember that both outcome and experience matter. Getting to the right results is everything. Creating the right customer/user experience throughout the whole process is everything, too.
- Be practical. Clever and elegant solutions may create good work samples, but they may not produce the outcomes clients need. Challenge assumptions and aspirations, but never lose sight of reality.
- Focus on intimacy not scale. Help the client get to the right outcome simply and quickly. Don’t complicate or expand challenges to add more work or feed more mouths.
