Cisco CTO supports Valuta business model

Padmasree Warrior's blog - The Next Generation Collaborative Enterprise – drew Valuta’s own William Harrod to comment:

“there is an extra dimension that you might like to consider.  At Valuta (a niche management consultancy) we have a porous organisation, where client resources are encouraged to work alongside Valuta team leaders on assignments.  A client resource may work with us in their own organisation, and even more usefully, on assignments in other client organisations.  These client resources ‘join’ Valuta for short periods, contribute and learn, then ‘leave’ and return to their own organisation.”

Padmasree responded with a hugely encouraging:

“William, it’s very encouraging to see a management consulting firm embedding unique knowledge transfer and experience practices in its operational model. Thanks for sharing!"
