The Consulting Philosophy - The Role of the Consultant as the Sutradhaar

Flame Tao Knoware works on Implementation consulting models. As Implementation Consultants, we partner organizations towards alignment and transformation, handholding them across thresholds and designing self-sustenance processes for each.

What distinguishes the FLAME TAO Consultant is her ability to play the Role of Sutradhaar. The Sutradhaar role is consistent with our objectives of integrating western frameworks and knowledge with eastern values, philosophy, and culture. The Sutradhaar demands a repertoire of skill and behavior from the consultant such as:

1. Interweaving the narrative,that examines the legacies, culture, heroes, values, myths, and journeys in the past, and the present thresholds that confront the organization.


2. Co-visualizing the future narrative, in terms of vision, mission, guiding principles, design, and structure, for the client organization and prepare it for the adventures ahead.
   


3. Implementing as an actor, skills across functions and be a doer setting an example for others to follow and imbibe
   


4. Coaching in terms of skills, knowledge, and experiential learning.
   


5. Mentoring the internal change agents and the leaders towards vision and the Organizational Developmental roadmap ahead.
   


6. Facilitating a series of dialogue across various stakeholders, and institutionalizing negotiability, mutuality, and dignity.
