From the supplier: US Borax has found that the concept of 'high-impact consulting' avoids many of the problems commonly encountered when using consultants. The Valencia, CA-based company mines and processes a wide range of borate products for various applications. From time to time it relies on consultants to supplement its own capabilities and access new technology. It has achieved many of its objectives with the help of consultants, but has also encountered many frustrations such as consultant recommendations that do not result in improvements. In contrast to traditional consulting, high-impact consulting is based on the idea that the project has to improve the bottom line of the client and to help it develop the ability to sustain the positive results. This approach to the use of consultants has helped improve US Borax's capability to undertake projects.
