What's in a Guidon?

Wikipedia defines a guidon as a military standard carried by platoon or company-sized elements to indicate their unit affiliation. My translation and elaboration is that it's a flag proudly carried by a group of people to declare to the world who they are. It's a symbol of who they are, and of the standard of who they are aspiring to be. Our mission at Guidon Consulting is to help our clients improve and do better, so that they can more effectively serve their clients. We believe that real change must start internally, since this is the area that we can most control. Like Michael Jackson said, we havev to start with the man in the mirror.

Hi, I'm Marcus Aurelius. Actually, I'm not, but he represents the perspective that my partner Shiva and I are bringing to our consulting business, based in the greater Boston, MA area. We are experienced business consultants with a passion for helping small and medium-sized private and public sector clients achieve be all that they can and should be. Our view is that most problems are either of motivation and leadership or training and compliance. Watch this space as we begin to deploy public domain checklists in specific practice areas, including healthcare and IT Security. We look forward to hearing from yo!u
