I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

At Consult Mehran, we believe success is not a straight line. It’s a journey paved with experiments, learning, and a fair share of “ways that won’t work.” Thomas Edison’s famous words, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work,” perfectly capture the spirit of resilience that modern organizations must embody to thrive.

In today’s fast-moving business landscape, setbacks are not failures — they are feedback. Every misstep is a valuable lesson that informs better strategy, sharper execution, and stronger organizations. As a consulting firm specializing in business strategy, process improvement, and organizational development, we help our clients turn every challenge into a stepping stone toward lasting success.

The Value of Strategic Persistence

When businesses come to us, they are often grappling with complex challenges: slow growth, inefficient processes, or leadership roadblocks. It’s tempting to view these hurdles as failures. But at Consult Mehran, we reframe them as opportunities for intelligent iteration.

Through our Business Strategy and Transformation Services, we partner with organizations to rethink, refine, and recalibrate. Together, we uncover what’s not working — and then design tailored strategies that align with evolving markets, technologies, and goals.

Process Improvement: Finding Better Ways Forward

Operational inefficiencies don’t signal defeat. They simply reveal where new thinking is needed.

Our Process Improvement and Optimization Services dive deep into the ways organizations operate daily. Using proven methodologies like Lean Six Sigma, we help businesses identify waste, streamline workflows, and design more resilient systems. In short: if a process isn’t delivering results, we don’t abandon the mission — we engineer a better approach.

Building Organizations That Embrace Learning

The strongest organizations aren’t the ones that never stumble. They are the ones that adapt, learn, and innovate after every stumble.

With our Organizational Development and Change Management Services, we equip leadership teams and employees to navigate change confidently. We help instill a culture where experimentation is encouraged, where feedback is embraced, and where every setback is viewed as a stepping stone, not a dead end.

Why “10,000 Ways That Won’t Work” Is a Good Thing

At first, the idea of trying thousands of approaches sounds exhausting. But in reality, every attempt, every iteration, brings you one step closer to the solution that does work. Innovation, growth, and transformation are born from resilience and intelligent risk-taking.

Whether you are a startup finding your footing, a mid-size firm seeking operational excellence, or a large enterprise facing complex change, Consult Mehran is here to help you navigate the journey — failures and all — with expertise, strategic thinking, and an unwavering belief in your success.

Because in the end, it’s not about avoiding the 10,000 ways that won’t work.
It’s about finding the one that does.
