"A consultant cannot, without participation in the client organization, learn enough about its culture to suggest reliable new courses of action. Unless remedies are worked out jointly with members of the organization who know what will and what won't work in their culture, such remedies are likely to be either wrong or resisted because they come from an outsider.   "Unless the client/manager learns to see the problem for himself and thinks through the remedy, he will not be willing or able to implement the solution and, more importantly, will not learn how to fix such problems should they reappear. Edgar H. Schein, MIT

The organization moves towards optimum function, with management better equiped to deal with the one constant issue: change Since conclusions are developed by organizational members, there is an inherent committment to the outcome.
