情景对话

F: Our productivity has been down for more than six months now.I'm seriously considering pulling in an outside consultant to diagnose the cause of our problematic areas.I think we'd all benefit from an outsider's perspective. Sometimes we're just too closed to the problems to see the forest for the trees.

　　M: I think that's a good idea. You know I got a golfing buddy that runs a consultant firm. He's an expert in organizational comunication.He does't come cheap, but he's an expert in this field.Maybe he could help get things on track.

　　F: Do you have his card? What's in his portfolio? Which firm has he worked for in the past?

　　M: He's done staff for Microsoft and Boeing. I think he's been involved with Siemens' training evaluations as well. I'll get you his card, you can give him a call.

近6个多月来,我们的生产力一直在下降.我在认真考虑邀请业外的顾问帮助分析一下我们的问题根源.我想局外人的看法会对我们大有帮助.有时我们只会老围着问题,有点树不见林的感觉.

　　我看这是个好主意.你知道,经常跟我一起打高尔夫球的一个朋友就开着一家咨询公司.他是管理沟通方面的专家.给钱少了他不来的,不过他是他那一领域的专家.也许能帮我们走上正轨.

　　你有他的名片吗?他都有什么业务?过去他为哪家公司做过?

　　他曾为微软和波音公司出谋划策.我想他还一直参与西门子公司的培训评估.我去拿他的名片,你可以给他打个电话.
