That is why i had the GPT (Group Performance Team) report into me as CEO. They then knew that they carried the authority of the CEO and therefore got alot of things done. I also made sure that i spent time with them in the field and used the working relationship with the GPT as an example of how we work together as a team rather than a more traditional hierachy. Thanks for your comments Simon Kate

Having been an internal consultant a number of times, the most important factor for success is not geographic location. Rather it is to whom one reports & the mandate one is given. Reporting into a sufficiently senior person with a mandate to make change happen is most important. Otherwise the internal consultant just flits about having coffee but cannot make things happen.
