Course description
Internal Consulting Skills
Any business professional working in an advisory capacity is often required to take on assignments requiring a high degree of influence but little to no direct control. There is also a critical requirement to carefully facilitate early conversations to ensure the presenting problem and resources required are clearly understood. Failure to do so my result in taking on work that is:
- Not geared to resolving the ‘real’ problem
- Not aligned with the overall business priorities
- Requires time and effort that the professional does not have
- Lacks client involvement/accountability for resources, etc.
This workshop gives consultants the skills, tools, and process they need to support their transition totrusted advisor. Our Internal Consulting Skills Workshop employs a hands-on, experiential learning format. It utilizes participants’ actual client scenarios, role plays and group discussions throughout. The result is a fast-paced and practical session that helps participants build their consulting skills one step at a time. After this workshop, participants will understand how to increase their value to their clients and organization and have an array of excellent tools that they can immediately apply in their very next consulting engagement.
