Wellington views each assignment as a collaborative and interactive effort between its consultants and client employees, an effort which is based on mutual respect and trust. To obtain tangible results in the shortest possible time, active involvement and participation of the client are strongly encouraged. Where Wellington team members bring to the table structured knowledge and problem-solving skills, client team members are expected to raise questions, fulfill data requests, explain existing business practices and challenge assumptions. From an organizational point of view, close cooperation is best achieved when the consultant becomes an integral member of the client's team.
