Advanced Management Consulting Core Skills eLearning for External Consultants

“These are the details of consulting in which clients assume we were all trained, but we weren’t. Now we are and can promote that fact. At the same time, projects no longer need to be so unpredictable and our domain expertise produces a greater impact for clients.“

Redefine Professional

You are an external consultant; at a brand name firm, an emerging boutique, or running your own independent consultancy. You might specialize in an industry, a business process, or a consulting discipline such as strategy development, merger design, program management, et al.

You already possess

• Domain Expertise
• Skills in your primary discipline
• Interpersonal skills
• Intelligence and curiosity
• Analytical skills
• Presentation and Facilitation skills
• Project Management skills

Now you can add Advanced Management Consulting core skills to your list of competencies.

Did you

• Join your consulting firm out of college?
• Move from industry into a management consulting role?
• Start your own consulting firm?

In each case, you are unlikely to have been formally trained in the how-to of conducting an end-to-end management consulting project. Yet in this win-by-an-inch economy, saturated consulting market, impeccable credentials are essential. 

The Advanced Management Consulting curriculum is derived from over two-hundred management consulting projects, across all types of organization, and is taught at leading business schools and to leading consulting firms. SchellingPoint identified thirty-three essential activities clients presume their management consultants are trained to perform, but in which few are.

Now, you too can learn the state-of-the-profession skills required to assemble a client group around their most accurate, viable, and endorsed plans and guide them through to desired outcomes. The skills are universally applicable to:

Strategies  Policies  Programs  Charters  Roadmaps  Innovation  Mergers  Outsourcing  Transformations  IT Projects  Alliances  Process Improvement  Culture Change  Coalitions  Change Management …

any situation where you need to efficiently transform a group from “We each think this…” to “We all agree to do that…” to “We did it.”
