The Consultant

Product Information

Mama Sang pays a visit to CompWare; Elaine questions Regus' motives; Craig makes unexpected headway on a new game. View Details The fact that Regus Patoff never sleeps, only leaves the CompWare office to visit a portable restroom in the middle of nowhere, and has his name abbreviated from " Registered U.S. Patent Office" confirms that he functions like a literal machine. However, The Consultant's subtle references to Dante's Inferno and other religious undertones seem to suggest that there is a lot more to Patoff's inhuman demeanor than meets the eye. On two occasions, The Consultant brings a horror twist by briefly featuring illustrations from Dante's Inferno, which alludes to how he forces his employees through circles of corporate hell by invading their private and personal lives. While giving a tour of a mobile video game company, CompWare, Elaine, the company's creative liaison, allows the students to meet the CEO, Sang. After leaving his office, one of the students shoots and kills Sang. While out for a run at night several days later, one of CompWare's coders, Craig, goes to the office and talks with Elaine, and the two discuss the likely end of their company. They are surprised when a man, Regus Patoff, arrives and claims to have been hired by Sang to help the company. Patoff produces a signed document to verify that he was hired, but refers to Sang as if he is still alive and does not seem to understand the concept of mobile gaming. He has an all-hands meeting, and has strict rules for his employees; he is also unable to move up or down stairs without assistance. Craig and Elaine investigate and watch surveillance footage from Sang's office; they see Sang sign the agreement with Patoff, but then immediately knelt in front of Patoff and was forced to perform fellatio. It opened my eyes to management and leadership theory. It was the first book I had read by someone with not years, but decades of experience in the field, and who could be said to be one of the 'fathers' of some of theory discussed within. Provides hands-on, real-life case studies and determines those three particular points that any interviewer expects in the initial 5 minutes of starting a case study and, later, coming to the result.

As a consulting business owner, you’re responsible for more than delivering successful consulting projects. You’re also responsible for being an entrepreneur and capitalizing on opportunities that arise. Seeing Around Corners teaches you how to see the signal from the noise and innovate for the future of a rapidly-changing industry. You can be great at consulting, but if you don’t understand how clients buy, you’ll fail to successfully sell your consulting services. How Clients Buy gives you a peek into the mind of your client — helping you understand what they want so you can sell to them successfully. But there's something strange about the firm they hire--more specifically, the quirky gentleman who arrives to supervise the project: Mr. Patoff, tall and thin and wearing a bow tie, and with an odd smile that never quite reaches his eyes.With humor and insight, Marc gets students thinking about how to use the case interview as a showcase of their talents rather than an obstacle to their employment.” (Nancy Saunders Associate Director, Office of Career Services, Harvard University) The Division of Continuing Education (DCE) at Harvard University is dedicated to bringing rigorous academics and innovative teaching capabilities to those seeking to improve their lives through education. We make Harvard education accessible to lifelong learners from high school to retirement. I have always valued the Stephen Covey books. In particular for consulting I like “First Things First”.

The scripture is in simple English language that is easy to understand and has simpler implementation Given the way the show is set up, we’re hoping that The Consultant will be renewed for a second season. Even though Prime Video is notorious for keeping a light roster, can they really afford to let the opportunity for season 2 slip by? We do not think so! Robert Galford, who has taught at Columbia and Kellogg as well, is a managing partner of the Center for Executive Development. The book follows a business that hires a consulting firm which is personified with a strange person named Regus Patoff. Patoff eventually takes over the company and forces the workers to follow bizarre and arbitrary rules while intruding on their personal lives. Expendable workers are 'terminated' and die in odd accidents/suicides and there's a bit of 'Lord of the Flies' in the workplace as things escalate.
