Thanks a ton for the mention of my blog David. It’s an honor.

Your book “Managing The Professional Services Firm” was my bible when I used to run PS organizations. It’s still on my desk as a reference book.

Thanks again.

Best,
Rajesh

Blog Archive

As my blog has grown extensively over the past year, I've created a new dynamic blog archive for those of you who may be looking to dig through the earlier discussions.

Due to the ever-expanding nature of the conversation here, I’ve created this indexing system to help those of you that may be looking for earlier conversations. Click on any of the four main topics below to see their subcategories, and click the subcategories to see the relevant blog posts. Click here or on the x in the top corner at any point to return to the main blog page.

This is a beta version of the interface, and we plan to develop a more refined catgorization scheme but thought this early version would be useful.
