Course description
The Consultative Process
As organizations strive to address their clients’ critical business issues, technical professionals play an important role in creating and implementing solutions for external and internal clients. The Consultative Process establishes a basic philosophy of consulting with a common and easily understood approach to enable a consistent client experience.
The Consultative Process introduces a problem-solving mindset and presents an effective process for consulting with both internal and external clients. It helps technical and functional professionals become comfortable in their role as consultants. Examining a business relationship from the client’s viewpoint helps to generate greater alignment and commitment with clients by using a win-win problem-solving approach.
