CurrentComing in early 2025.Visit "Bearingpointinsight.com" for more information.DecisionsEach of us makes 100’s of them every day. Most are “totally inconsequential,” made with little, if any, thought to the possible outcome, but when a single decision potentially impacts the livelihood of a business and those employed there, it deserves “far more attention” than it typically receives.BearingPoint Incorporated was the $3+ billion-dollar bankruptcy that no one seemed to notice, probably because of its slow and painful demise. After experiencing incredible year-over-year growth from 1996 through 2000, the highly regarded Professional Services Firm "BearingPoint Inc." (previously known as KPMG Consulting until 2002) was separated from the protection of KPMG LLP and became a standalone, publicly traded, company in February 2001. Eight years later, BearingPoint Inc. declared bankruptcy and was sold off in pieces for pennies on the revenue dollar.This book “meticulously” walks the reader through the critical events/decisions the led to the downfall of one of the most respected management and technology consulting companies that ever existed. In addition, it provides an “unprecedented - behind the scenes view” into what was “going on in the background” based on my personal journal where I documented the “events of the day” as so many worked tirelessly in an effort to stop what eventually became the inevitable bankruptcy of BearingPoint Incorporated. This book serves as a crucial guide for current and future leaders, offering lessons on leadership, decision-making, and the profound impact that casual decisions may have on an organization’s future. It is intended to help educate all leaders on the importance of the decisions they make and how “every single decision has an impact,” thus making every one of them so important.“White is certainly thorough, and the amount of research that went into the work is apparent (and frankly staggering).” – Kirkus Reviews.
