the down turn, the current revenues remained healthy. However, Ajay knew it was
inevitable that the company could not do business the same way. The complexity
of managing the business had increased with time. Consultant were under pressure
to deliver good and innovate solutions. The organization had consultants from
different age groups having a good mix of domain and industry expertise. It was
a flat organization with three levels. The biggest challenge for Ajay was to
have consultants with latest knowledge who would also earn revenues. Getting
additional business was a challenge as all the consultants were busy and it was
very difficult to hire new consultants. 4. Some of the consultants were adept
at applying old solutions to new problems. Ajay was not very sure, if this
would work for longs. Some of the clients had complained about the performance
