ACCREDITED MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT TRAINING

Accredited management consultant training examines the role of the management consultant and how the consulting industry enhances the effectiveness of the organizations it serves. From an internal perspective, the course examines what it means to act as an external advisor, what skills are necessary to develop a successful consulting business model, and how to professionally engage clients to assist them in successfully reaching their goals through the design and implementation of novel approaches and techniques that generate competitive advantage.

Emulating the skills necessary to be a successful consultant, this accredited management consultant course will aid in the development of problem-identification and solving abilities, communication and influencing skills, and introduce a project-based management mindset. These components lead to success in the consulting marketplace by balancing formal processes, methodologies, and models with the spontaneous creativity of a high-performance team, manifesting in the form of true innovation for clients and firms alike.

By following the consulting lifecycle, course participants will learn the nuances of the consulting business, from uncovering issues to framing problems, analyzing issues, presenting recommendations, and planning for the ever-important “Phase 2”. Students will see the industry from both perspectives, as future consultants on a career path to partner and as future industry managers looking to get the most from their external resources. The course’s 50:50 mix of lecture and in-depth case analysis will put to practice traditional strategic, process, and functional analyses together with taking on the role of “futurist” for each case organization to address business issues, implement solutions, and to be at the forefront of knowledge development.
