Case Studies
We are all familiar with Innovation Theater, where companies put on an innovation show without real results. Something similar often happens with case studies. We are calling it Case Study Theater, carefully curated success stories that not only make things look far more impressive than they really are, but also allow consultants to take more credit than they deserve. It is too easy to make things up and ignore who and what truly made an impact. That is if there was any impact at all.
Enron, once hailed by McKinsey as an innovative marvel, was later exposed as one of the biggest corporate frauds in history. Even after its collapse, some consultants still referenced it as a success story. Meanwhile, the failed £10 billion NHS digital transformation project, one of the most expensive IT disasters in history, was later repackaged by the same consulting firms as a “lesson” in why organizations need their expertise. No matter the outcome, the consultant always manages to spin it. So how can you trust case our studies?
Our Approach
Rather than presenting flashy PDFs filled with curated success stories, we prefer taking a different approach and connect you directly with past clients. You can ask them anything without us in the room if you like. No selective storytelling, just an open and honest conversation about what it is really like to work with us.
We understand that, in some cases, you something to for internal stakeholders. If that is what it takes to help you cut through internal red tape, we might just bend the rules a little.
