Consulting 101 - The Basics by Dale Stubbart Pdf

Welcome to the wonderful world of Consulting. It's a world I know well, having lived it for more than 30 years. What does a Consultant do? Well I'm glad you asked. Consultants are brought into a project for the expertise, to speed the project along, and to share their knowledge with the Client. Consultants are sought more for their wisdom than for their advice. I try to help the Client come to wise decisions rather than telling them what they should do - nobody likes to be told what they should do. I get to travel, meet new people, work in various industries and feel the satisfaction of the team having done our job well. This book is about the basics of Consulting. I wrote it to help those who are new at Consulting, so they don't feel like they're flailing around on their own, not sure what they're supposed to do, act, or what's available to them as a Consultant.

Communication for Consultants by Rita R. Owens Pdf

From the moment of their first client engagement, consultants in all fields face communication opportunities and challenges. No matter what their focus may be-professional services, accounting, technology, operations, human resources, manufacturing, or marketing-consultants drive change. That change, from its initial definition through its development and deployment, must be precisely communicated to a variety of audiences and through a variety of mediums. Most business communication books do a good job leading professional writers and presenters through the basics of audience, organization, formatting, and mechanics. But, only few focus on a specific business role, such as that of a consultant, and give guidance for communicating during all stages of a project. From the pre-engagement process, to the actual engagement, to the post-engagement follow-up, consultants are challenged by the variety of audiences whose roles continually shift throughout a project. This book guides a current or would-be consultant through the various phases of a typical engagement and gives practical advice and direction on written and oral communication throughout a project. Current and future consultants in all fields will gain specific knowledge about writing and presenting to a variety of audiences including clients, team members, managers, and executives.
