• A manager has too many employess that achive a "Does Not Meet" performance score

When what a company is doing is not achieving the results it expects, an outside perspective can see things that may be overlooked by the same source(s) that initiated the situation.

Consultants have the benefit of seeing, knowing and experiencing what dozens of companies do with an industry. Often, a company can only know what it does well. This can stifle creativity, growth and expansion.
