Facilitative Consulting

Description

Great consultants understand that the artistry in their business – organizational transformation – is being able to weave a tapestry that intertwines their expertise with the client’s intimate knowledge of his/her organization. In other words, consultants help managers “think about what they think” and in so doing help leaders create clarity for themselves and their organization.

The under-girding philosophy in “Facilitative Consulting” is that:

1. The consulting process is you; so know who you are and be true to who you are.

2. There are twelve distinct but systemically over-lapping stages to the consulting process. The consultant’s imperative is to know which stage you are in and then how, in that moment, to proffer the precise and elegant response said stage requires of you.

“Facilitative Consulting” will show you how to be a superb consultant; to create value for clients even before your first meeting and at every step in the process.
