Consultancy Skills
for Head Office Professionals

Most organisations today face constant change. The best staff will take responsible initiative, and make things happen without detailed instructions from above. They will manage ambiguity well, add business value through a strategic approach, and develop influential relationships with key stakeholders in other parts of the business.

Our Consultancy Skills for Head Office Professionals programme provides a comprehensive model and toolkit for managing ambiguity and adding strategic value. The three-day programme covers:

• The questions professional consultants ask to probe ambiguity when taking a brief
• The difference between operational, tactical and strategic consultancy, with practice on altering your approach to one which adds strategic value for your clients
• Political analysis and influence: how to mobilise support across the business, work cross-functionally and manage multiple stakeholders
• Tools:
  • The Consultancy Profile & Handbook: collects feedback from manager and clients and provides guidelines for improvement
  • Company Decisions Exercise: diagnostic tool for strategic consultancy
  • Document Templates: robust documents that enable you to set up, track and review a consultancy project, making a professional impact in minimum time
• Live project work with people from the business, providing a chance to put new skills into practical action with the support of an experienced consultant
