Excellent Article. But I guess you covered the points you wanted to convey may in the first 25% of the section. So, Telling more to convey less is more (Just kidding).. May be i should stop here

really well written, I could relate to almost everyword in the post. I think this behavior is becoming more visible in consulting space, somewhere between adopting to processes, sticking to standards and working across global teams entire junta have lost focus on what is actually needed. and that thing with 3 page doc going into 14 pages template.. well I couldnt help but laughout loud coz that is exactly what I was doing yesterday evening…

So… how could you have made that post shorter? I have a related question: what in the background of a consultant (or product manager, or any entry level MBA position) enables them to make recommendations about an industry they don’t really understand well? For that matter, how much of decision making in most organizations is done on the basis of a wink and a nod, rather than any of the reports that aren’t read? Most long reports exist just to justify decisions that are already made, and as such it is imperative that the “important” information be buried.

Great post. I can’t say how many times I have done that myself (fitting a 2 pager into 15 slides). Standardizing is something that is now ingrained in all probably because most people really don’t know what they are doing and just want to play it safe (as you mentioned).
