Why The Name Outlier?
In the book “Outliers – The Story of Success”, renowned author Malcolm Gladwell states that it takes significant practice to truly master any skill (roughly 10,000 hours). Reading this book from a consultant’s perspective, our co-founders had an “aha moment.” They understood that to excel in a consultative role, one should have deep subject matter expertise (and that expertise should be continuously improving). With this in mind, they set out to build Canada’s most experienced consulting team, where all consultants who are core members of the practice (pun intended) had over 10,000 hours of in-house compliance expertise. While the Outlier team brings together compliance consultants with a diverse range of experiences across sectors and areas of compliance practice, the commitment to recruiting only seasoned personnel has been unwavering.
