Most CEOs call a consultant when they want a new strategy, and Dr. Brandon Hamilton believes the better question is whether your organization can actually execute one.
Dr. Hamilton is a pracademic, a graduate faculty member and the founder of Hamilton's Solutions, a boutique management consulting practice that helps executives map their current-state architecture, define business requirements, and design future-state technology roadmaps. His doctoral research extended Dr. Larry Greiner's model of organizational growth into a stage he calls agility.
In this conversation, he explains why large consulting firms often push standardized solutions, why so many CEOs come to him as a pair of hands instead of an advisor, and what it means to stay vendor neutral and work upstream of implementation. He also shares the triple helix model of business, education, and government working together, and the story of helping Ben & Jerry's build a localized strategy as it expanded into Southern California.
If you have ever been sold a platform before anyone asked what your business needs, this episode will reframe how you use outside advice. Dr. Hamilton is offering listeners 30 minutes of free consultation, so email bhamilton.dba@gmail.com, mention this episode, and use the keyword triple helix.
