ABOUT LAWRENCE SPILER

Mr. Spiler is one of those rare breeds who knows when to throw out conventional wisdom from the discussions with clients and forces a focus on the real problems a company faces and solutions that will fix those very same. Throughout his career, he has battled these predictable narrow viewpoints and has advanced the theory that there is nothing wrong with “pushing the envelope” of conventional thinking beyond its current limits. On most occasions, client management identify with the pushing the envelope stratagem, embrace it, and achieve multiples of what they might achieve otherwise. However, in some cases, there is an inertia or politics within an organization which prevents management from seeing the forest from the trees. It is our responsibility to expand the horizons of clients, beyond traditional thinking, and achieve orders of magnitude of success, that may last for years. This may require bold action by clients (and some go home without any ideas to fix their problems). But to a large degree, management will, at least, entertain a more dramatic approach after months or years of doing the same thing over and over again. Einstein would call this Insanity as you repeat the same strategies and expect a different outcome each time you try. Those companies willing to throw out the old methodologies and (perhaps reluctantly) pursue the Envelope strategy, have found their greatest success in working with Mr. Spiler in overcoming their business and profit issues.It may take only one senior manager to recognize this opportunity and help others in the team to go along with the solution. All Mr. Spiler has to do is find that individual in the power structure that is a corporation, and make sure he jumps out of his seat, and says \"Let\'s do this!\"
