_______________________ Message from the Managing Director _______________________ Brooks Helmick The IML Boston Group To Our Clients, Colleagues and Visitors: Welcome To Our Web Site! I would like to use this message to expand on the issues raised on our home page. Our Experience Says - Answers Lie Within - We approach the management consulting practice with a special perspective.  Our experience has convinced us that the answers to better address most organizations challenges and opportunities lie within their own management and employees. Outside consultants can be useful, but we have achieved the most long lasting successes by helping our clients organize to better grapple themselves with the issues at hand. Prioritizing the Issues - Doing It Better The key to running any organization successfully is getting the priorities right, or described in a single word - focus. Some organizations over rely on a heavy top-down approach to set and communicate their priorities. Other senior management teams over rely on feedback from staff and employees. The most successful organizations find a way to collectively organize their entire team to zero-base their assumptions and re-address their priorities regularly and repeatedly, over and over again. We help our clients to excel in doing just that.
