As a management consultant for over 30 years, here are some of my favorites, and some funny analogies...
"Methodology is an aid to thinking, not a substitute for it"
On change management, "understanding human behavior does not make one immune from it"
On presentations, "you don't want to look out and see the audience looking like dogs watching tv"
First liar doesn't stand a chance
On ill-planned technology roll outs, "give a monkey a machine gun and sooner or later someone is going to get hurt"
"In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable ". Dwight D. Eisenhower
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea". Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things". Nicole Machiavelli
And finally, In case you need a definition for what I do, a consultant is someone who knows over 200 ways to make love, but doesn't know any women
