Hi everybody,
who is interested in the ’secrets’ of the management and IT consultants ?
Well, it is actually not a secret, just few consultants and even fewer consultancies either (don’t) have or are (not) are prepared to disclose the basic set of tools and techniques they use.
I have ignored all this and written a book on it… out of my own personal need to have such a ‘list of tools’ in order to stop re-inventing the wheel every time I do something I did before and I just can’t remember where I saved the relevant project documentation.
The book has been published in Germany in November 2007 and is selling extremly well…and the english version has coming out in October 2008… check out: www.consulting-handbook.com to find out more.
As you will find out, this absolutely unique book is not – like most other consulting books – addressing how to become a consultant or how to run your consulting practice. This book is completely focusing on tools and techniques of the consulting trade. Things you can apply straight away.
As they say ‘the proof is in the pudding’, I recently lectured two modules on the consulting process/diagnostics/analysis/etc at an Management Consulting MBA programme in Germany and the feedback I received confirmed the uniqueness of the content.
So it is really that unique ? Do you know of other resources like this ?
Any feedback is welcome. Please let me know.
Yours,
Nicolai Andler
PS www.nicanto.com is going to become the electronic extension of the book and will become the Consulting | Tools | Community. I am looking forward to welcoming you there.
