High-Impact Consulting: How Clients and Consultants Can Leverage Rapid Results into Long-Term Gains (Jossey-Bass Business & Management Series)

No one wants high-priced advice that doesn't produce results! Billions of dollars are spent each year on intricate plans and complicated solutions offered to corporate executives and managers. Yet, success rates remain low.

With High-Impact Consulting, you'll gain insight into why companies and consultants buy into methods that do not produce tangible results. You'll then learn Robert Schaffer's model for consulting which focuses on the power of speed, flexibility, and responsiveness.

Learn the two essential aspects of successful consulting projects:

• The project's design
• The client consultant relationship

You'll learn the skills to tackle urgent short term goals and accomplish them quickly. These short term successes will then become vehicles for sharpening management skills, strengthening work disciplines, and introducing new technology. With High-Impact Consulting you'll learn to use these early successes as springboards to larger accomplishments and continuous improvement within organizations.
