      Anyone actually *want* to learn management consulting from me? With the caveat that I can’t promise jobs or gigs (and therefore can’t pull off lambda school type no-fees-upfront models)

      Yes! I really believe personal knowledge mgmt has a tremendous amount to offer modern orgs, but don't know how to navigate the corporate consulting world

      I think you’re already doing it. The only big difference is that consulting is not about what you think you have to offer. It’s about what they (they being execs) think they need. 100% customer driven, 0% product driven.

      One thing they don’t need, and know they don’t need is homework. At most optional suggested reading. The workshop/workbook/mapping methods/tools layer is for middle managers because it produces homework. Or execs who still think like middle managers. All kumite, no kihon/kata.

      But I think I have a foxy side where I could recommend and shed light on a wide variety of knowledge mgmt issues, even if it's not what I do. I think my challenge is that I'm really not good at thinking quickly on my feet. Or maybe I've just not developed that yet

      Yeah you need a bigger in-memory first-brain cache for live sparring basically. If you put too much into a second brain for offline access your sparring will be weak. And it’s hard to review in preparation beyond notes from last session.

      Ah so there is a downside to second-brain-building. We talked about this elsewhere. I'll stick to long-form blogging then :P

      I think it’s possible to do both. Just needs more energy. It’s just that both sides of a sparring session can’t play hedgehog (they talk past each other) or fox (they dance rather than spar). And by virtue of being in actual line-of-fire job, client gets to play more hedgehog.

          I think this is hard for me because I'm fundamentally hedgehog. I only play fox to gather more evidence for my universalist theory
