Natural selection
Two low-buzz high-personality consultancy sites got pointed to me in the last few hours. So I'm pointing back.
- Bregman Partners
- Darwin Partners
Here's how Howie Jacobson of Bregman Partners described his company to me when I asked about it:
We do what management consultants do, but we don't come in with an attitude of superiority (except toward other management consultants, of course) and recommend whatever fad is coming down from the consulting oracles this month. We use coaching to align day-to-day behaviors with organizational
goals, and use the information from the coaching sessions to consult with leaders about what's supporting the desired change and what's getting in the way.
We also do what training companies do, but we don't provide weeklong trainings and then leave so nothing changes. We do short (2-4 hour) trainings called JETS (Just Enough To Start) and then follow up with coaching to help people actually apply new skills and behaviors on the job.
Our philosophy is sound, our associates are excellent, and we're young, hip, irreverent yet not jaded, and we really impress people with how real we are.
And this from a friend, about Darwin Partners:
Just thought you might find the following interesting... I've been talking to a lot of recruiters, and their web sites could uniformly have been produced by the buzzphraser. Then I found an interesting exception: http://www.darwinpartners.com. Loved the bit about the lion and the running shoes (under who we are).
It may still be BS, but it's *readable* BS... their "what we think"
article on the graying of the baby boomers is also moderately
clueful.
Buzz on.
