Their views are different; so is the approach of handling challenges. Yet the seemingly simple way outs for contributing as individual to fight inflation, appeal to mind and are workable. The to do list begins with the lighter tone – One Step Away from Best Practice. And getting away from best practice demands dropping the most demanded daily use item from the purchasing list.
Hence, management of the SBM Consultants asks for attacking inflation and not the desired list. It wants us, the individuals to feel the power against inflation by leading by example. The advise informs us to insist on purchase bill; increase savings and reduce expenses; reduce over-dependency on necessities, including petrol and pay taxes. Take a walk, ride a bicycle, when possible. Prioritize purchasing quality items from government departmental stores, at subsidized rates; increase savings. The cited rule of success is – Be Yourself.

The quote from Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner’s Leadership Challenge book

“Challenges are not the issue. It’s how we respond to them matters”

is truly inspirational when many of us are busy in holding others responsible for many problems being faced by citizens, including inflation, and doing nothing; SBM Consultants requests us to be accountable to ourselves; reform our habits, attitudes and choices for assured improvement and change. The high costs of the most demanded costly items will thus automatically lower down; and then we the citizens will be in a position to target the next most demanded item in the list.

SBM Consultants recently began working in Pakistan. Its innovative, workable solutions are attracting many. The consultancy firm has matured in a very short time as a leading organization offering training and development initiatives, strategic business and management solutions, capacity building and support in cross-sector development. It guides business, financial and organizational excellence, while holding its Aim High slogan. Its public service campaign on Students Career Development Programs is in offing.

We are enjoying the results of stepping a step away from Best Practices, when will you? Though, riding a bicycle after childhood seemed bit daunting, but this ride for health and sustainability is a real satisfaction.
