Advanced Management Consulting 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.“

Contemporary How-To

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 formal training.

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 likely to be using a core management consulting methodology dating back to the 1970s. Adjusted and honed into your firm’s own unique methodology, possibly using modern AI and data science in places, the fundamentals of how the work is done, though, are now half a century old. 

SchellingPoint’s unique study of over 330 management consulting projects identified essential techniques necessary in today’s turbulent, networked, fast-paced economies.

The Advanced Management Consulting curriculum includes new management science principles, concepts, methods, and frames, such as Alignment Optimization and Outside In Sequencing – now taught at leading business schools. 

Now, you too can learn the state-of-the-profession skills required to assemble a client group around their most valuable, 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.”
