Lean and systems thinking

Lean and ‘systems thinking’ are concepts which have come to mean ‘all things to all people’. Lean is not ‘mean’ – it is not about paring things back to the bone, asking employees to work harder and doing more with less.

The Campaign Against Consultancy


RedQuadrant has launched the Campaign Against Consultancy. Our goal – that the public sector need no longer rely on costly consultants who:

  • are only in it for the money
  • undermine the confidence and capacity of the client
  • sell the same old solution whether it fits the problem or not

OK, we admit it – we are a bunch of consultants ourselves.

But what’s wrong with trying to do ourselves out of a job?

We know that the challenges the public sector faces are so serious, we’ll probably retire before we achieve our goals – and from exhaustion rather than extravagant wealth!

That won’t stop us from trying….

Consultants should not drive the change that is required, the drive should come from within.

Are we right or wrong?
