What our clients say
We deployed the taskforce in March. The interim report landed in November. By then the problem had resolved itself – exactly as promised.
– Board member, listed company
Since we have a taskforce, nobody asks why we are doing nothing. They ask how the taskforce is progressing. That is an entirely different conversation.
– Head of department, public administration
The taskforce has deployed a sub-taskforce. I have never been prouder.
– Programme manager, name on request
I sit on four taskforces. I don't know what they do. But my calendar is full and my position is unassailable.
– Name known to the editors
Frequently asked questions
Will the taskforce solve my problem?
The taskforce will address your problem. Legally and in communications terms that is something else entirely – and as a rule entirely sufficient.
How long does a taskforce run?
Until the problem is solved or until nobody asks about it any more. Experience shows the second case arrives considerably sooner.
What distinguishes a taskforce from a working group?
The urgency in the name. Substantively nothing. In pricing, considerably.
Can you deploy a taskforce to coordinate our existing taskforces?
That is our best-selling product. We call it a meta-taskforce. To coordinate it, we recommend a steering committee.
What happens at the end of the mandate?
You receive a final report with recommended actions. For their implementation we recommend deploying a taskforce.
