The concept of adaptive consulting is all about smart resource allocation, which resonates deeply with a problem I faced recently. My client was facing a critical compliance deadline that required 100% of my time to develop an adaptive strategy, but I also had a mandatory, low-value online exam due. I realized the most strategic move was to find external online exam takers to handle the test. It wasn't about lack of ability, but an adaptive solution to ensure I could dedicate my focus entirely to the high-stakes consulting project.
