Strassen diagnose in management
It is said, as professor Kępiński wrote about it, that a professional psychiatrist is able in the very first seconds to diagnose a patient. This is precisely called Strassen Diagnose - so called 'Street Diagnose'. The question is whether a consultant after half an hour of conversation with a chairman is able to state if a particular organization will be a tough one to diagnose or not? I believe that such a person understands and thinks about the organization a lot but his or her knowledge needs to be based on a broader context and on the research since the chairman himself/herself does not compose the company itself. An experienced consultant  knows for sure where to examine and while talking with the boss he/she can see the problems of the company. After an hour of conversation it may turn out that he/she has an assistant who stands in for him/her brilliantly and all the assumptions are useless. Consulting is not a psychiatry indeed.
