being an Ocean because there is always room for development. Consulting
is a vast ocean with no fixed boundaries. There is no set of rules written
down for any task in consulting.
(No Consultancy Act ).
10. o It is like possessing a torch in the dark to find a way but when we use the
torch we have no way but to build over own way. So holding a torch in one
hand and making way from other hand seems to be a tiring yet amazing task
because there is a lot of room for work.
Sometimes this excessive room is a hurdle and sometime it’s a boom for us.

check on organization which will equally contribute in the growth of
organization.
