partner when I'm out on a project.”

Welcome to the a-connect IP Newsletter
by Perry Fagan

Welcome to the February 2007 issue of the a-connect IP Newsletter! In this issue we explore the roots of the effectiveness of management consultants, and the challenge for clients of utilizing external advice to gain lasting impact.

First up is an article by a-connect Talent Partner Sascha Schmidt, who presents a summary of his research into the question of what makes a management consultant effective. Next, this issue's getAbstract business book abstract, "Flawed Advice and the Management Trap: How managers can tell when they are getting good advice and when they are not", by Harvard Business School Professor Chris Argyris, offers executives valuable insights on how to seek specific, testable, actionable advice from consultants.

We are also proud to present an update on events at a-connect over the past several months, including a distinctive client event in Basel, a sampling of recent projects, changes to our team, and the continuing growth of our global talent pool.

Once again, welcome. Enjoy!
