Since the nature of what is causing this stagnation may or may not be identified and since &#8211; by assumption &#8211; the enterprise is not able to address the situation by itself, it is unclear which type of skills would be required to address the situation.<\/p>\n<p>We then enter a blurry area where logic loses some ground and more subjective parameters take more importance. It is then easy to come to a point where it is believed that a couple of\u00a0very experienced external contributors with the necessary background and skills can\u00a0help and make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>An experienced and skilled person is certainly capable to assess a situation in its multiple dimensions (organization, methodology, infrastructure , persons), propose strategies, tactics and even solutions BUT a single (or couple of) individual(s) cannot make\u00a0all this a reality alone.<\/p>\n<p>It is not reasonable to think that things can be addressed, improved or solved without the participation of the individuals being integral parts of the organization. The active participation and involvement of the company employees and managers is absolutely mandatory for a successful implementation of the proposed strategy, tactics and solutions.<\/p>\n<p>The withdrawal attitude or lack of involvement of an enterprise can fall into after having sought\u00a0external help is often an important factor for failure.
