History of the Gordian Knot

Gordian Transformation Partners selected its name based on an historical account, where innovative and decisive action solved what was believed to be an unsolvable problem.

An ancient oracle foretold that the person who could solve the problem of the Gordian Knot would become King and go on to rule the world. Alexander the Great, believing the oracle, arrived in the ancient city of Phrygia, and studied the knot. Understanding that many had been unsuccessful in solving the problem over the years, and that he must move forward quickly in order to accomplish his own goals, Alexander the Great drew his sword and cut through the knot.

The story goes on to say that Alexander was given the title of King, went on to Asia and by the end of his time did in fact rule the entire known world. Alexander considered his victory over the Gordian Knot his most decisive battle.
