That would essentially be saying, “Veni, vidi, vici” to the problem! They would be delighted if whenever they had a problem someone appeared at their side (physically or virtually), identified and diagnosed the problem, and then conquered it quickly. What they describe as a desired ideal state, is in their minds still wishful thinking of sorts – they have expressed that, for the most part, they would like to rely on their own internal strengths, only seeking focused and short-term external help when absolutely needed. Having stepped out of the traditional consulting world, I am finding several customers expressing to me how they wish they could find someone who could provide consulting-like help but with a very laser-like focus. Many of them wish that their consulting partners would just arrive, see, and conquer (the problem at hand)! In their minds, some consulting firms are interested in a “land and expand” approach more than anything else. However, it frequently leaves the customer with a perception of having incurred a higher total cost. Now this could be a good thing, because quite likely other areas of improvement might be identified and worked upon. If they are invited in for a certain purpose, they often seek out other opportunities so they can continue to engage fruitfully with the client for longer durations. This means they must find nice long stints for them at customer sites. The business models of most consulting firms are based on how well utilized their consultants are. The “veni, vidi, vici” approach could also apply to the world of SAP consulting/support services. But, in certain contexts it can also be a description for a great way to solve many of the issues that plague us today.Ī corporation could be debating a serious issue for weeks, and months, unmindful of the costs of waiting on making a decision, or they could buckle down and address the issue, recognize the pros and cons, and end the suffering with decisive action. Obviously, this was in the context of the exploits of an increasingly dominant Roman Empire.
It translates as “ I came, I saw, I conquered“.
According to one definition (Wikipedia), “Veni, vidi, vici” is a famous Latin sentence reportedly written by Julius Caesar in 47 BC.
