Critical Mass: The Reality Behind the Conventional Wisdom

Steven I. Davis

Chapter 7 in Managing Change in the Excellent Banks, 1989, pp 72-78 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Management consultancy is a jargon-filled business. Amidst this jargon, however, are a few nuggets, and one of them is the phrase ‘critical success factor’. Asking a businessman what separates the sheep from the goats in his business often has a remarkable impact in focussing in on a limited number of distinguishing characteristics and wiping away the jargon that inevitably is used to mystify the outsider.
