Strategic opportunities confront us every day. Often, they are disguised as problems, fires to be extinguished. Unfortunately, our organizational response tends to be knee-jerk. We seek immediate solutions to a problem by automatically “stopping the fires,” thereby creating new and far worse future scenarios or, even more devastating, missed strategic opportunities that our competitors later capitalize upon. When solving problems, we would be wise to carefully heed the first tenet of the ancient Hippocratic oath of physicians: “First, do no harm.” Make certain that the “fix” is not more detrimental than the original problem and ensure that the “problem” being attacked is not a magnificent opportunity in disguise.
John Di Frances has a thirty year track record of solving problems and identifying strategic opportunities for clients worldwide. As a visionary and strategic thinker, he is gifted with a unique ability to see into every day scenarios and consistently envision innovative, optimal solutions to common, and not so common, business dilemmas. There are many creative thinkers. What makes John Di Frances unique is the deceptively simple solutions that result from his innovative ideas. The foundation for this is his belief that simplest solutions are often best and that, in virtually every situation, someone, somewhere has undoubtedly faced a predicament that is similar in application, if not in form. As wise King Solomon said long ago: “There is nothing new under the sun.”
John's innovative approach is enriched by more than thirty years in international business, including twenty years of consulting. He has experience with a wide variety of manufacturing, service, government and non-profit clients, enabling him to formulate concept solutions from seemingly unrelated fields and industries, and reconfigure them to meet his client's specific needs. It has been said that: “If General Motors has an automobile design problem, they do not need another automobile engineer. They have thousands of those already. What GM needs is someone with a wide range of experience who does not think like an automotive engineer.” This someone is John Di Frances.
