The Management Centre (=mc) – a leading training and consultancy provider for not-
for-profit organisations – is running the annual Consultancy Skills Programme from
22-26 February 2010 in London. The 5-day course is designed to enable managers to
act as consultants within their own department or organisation or when managing 
external organisations. It is also ideal for anyone considering a career as a consultant.

 

The Consultancy Skills Programme equips managers with the skills necessary to take
a step back from the organisation, recognise challenges and opportunities, make 
objective decisions about the way forward and, most importantly, to gain support
from colleagues. Course modules cover the nine disciplines essential for successful
consultancy, they are:

• Consultancy methodology

 

• Innovation

 

• Strategy

 

• Change

 

• Communication

 

• Problem solving

 

• Organisational culture

 

• Structure

 

• Coaching

 

Bernard Ross, Director of The Management Centre and Trainer of the Consultancy Skills
Programme, says:

 

“Managers often report how hard it is to see the direction they should take as they
are too close to the organisation – they can’t see the wood through the trees. This
programme is designed to enable them to tackle exactly this challenge – to be able
to take a step back, look at the issue objectively and make an informed, independent
decision. Consultancy skills are a real benefit for those working in-house or considering
a profession as a consultant.”
