About the Author .. Book
Reviews "This is the ideal book for both novice and seasoned consultants who would like to learn valuable skills that can help them in their career. .. I am a recent MBA who just entered into management consulting. I found the material in this book extremely helpful in my engagement with clients. The book is organized into a series of easy to follow, practical steps that provides structure to your meetings. The author has taken the time to explain the purpose of each activity and the time at which it should be performed in extremely clear language. A flowchart at the beginning of every chapter clearly identifies the step in the overall process to track your progress. I think of this book as practical information that condenses key concepts from several MBA textbooks. .. The best part of the book's consulting approach is that it can be adapted to almost any problem with ease. It focuses on the client and their knowledge of the business to generate ideas. The proposed resolutions are accepted wholeheartedly by clients as they are kept involved throughout the process. With the help of the approach outlined in this book, a consultant's role changes to guiding a myriad of random ideas from the client into the right direction." . A Project Leader in Princeton, NJ: "I have personally used the methodology described in this book to help a local non-profit with their operational challenges. I found the methodology very simple to follow, structured and one that encouraged critical thinking (through examples). All these factors make the challenge look so easy to solve. The best part was that while applying these techniques/tools I found that it became a team-building exercise engaging all the team members involved to think together. . The key element that make these tools so successful is that it encourages you to quantify various parts of the puzzle- for example, these tools will tell you that it is not enough to just say "that the fundraising program is not effective" but push you to answer "how effective (in terms of %) is the fundraising program". . Building on this quantitative (yet not intimidating) platform, the process allows one to pick out the most high impact ideas and prioritize solutions, so it's very clear at the end of the process as to what the solution is and how to tackle it. . Since it's so simple to use, I'd recommend this to anyone who is interested in tackling an operational challenge or is interested in improving the performance of a process. I have had great success with this and hope you do to!" . A Sales Manager in Chicago, IL: "I
am the type of person who continually seeks opportunities to
improve my performance and the performance of the team that I
manage. I have read innumerable "mainstream" books on
the topics of how to improve management skills and how to improve
team performance. This material is truly unique in how it engages
the reader and teaches a balanced quantitative and qualitative
approach to team improvement.
Having very little time to read outside of class and work, I am
very selective in what I choose to read. This was a quick read
that is good enough to read twice. It is concise in its
methodology and the structures of the lessons are told in a story
format that is relevant and compelling. I read it in a day!" Product Details * Publisher: USA Leadership Corps * Language: English * ISBN: 0978839706 & 0978839714 |
