- Overemphasis on plans while neglecting implementation: Most consulting services only deliver standardized reports and policy documents, with no on-site support, implementation coaching or iterative optimization. The plans cannot be put into practice and therefore fail to generate value returns.
- Isolated modules and piecemeal optimization: Optimizing performance or compensation in isolation without integrating the linkage system of the six core modules tends to trigger management conflicts and institutional friction, making it impossible to build long-term management value.
- Detached from local business contexts: Blindly adopting internationally universal templates that are incompatible with local enterprises’ operating models, job characteristics and team conditions. The systems may appear comprehensive on paper but prove ill-suited in practice.
- Lack of quantitative acceptance criteria: Projects are not equipped with clear quantitative metrics for workforce efficiency, talent development and incentives. This prevents outcome review and iterative improvement, so consulting value cannot be materialized.
