Flawless Consulting — Getting Your Expertise Used
By Peter Block
Chapter 1
Chapter 1 A Consultant By Any Other Name…
Some Definitions And Distinctions
A consultant is a person in a position to have some influence over an individual, a group, or an organization but has no direct power to make changes or implement programs.
A manager is someone who has direct responsibility over the action.
A client is the person or persons whom the consultant wants to influence.
Line managers are clients for services provided by support people within the organization.
Chapter 1 A Consultant By Any Other Name
Some Definitions And Distinctions
There are three kinds of skills you need to do a good job:
Technical Skills
Interpersonal Skills
Consulting Skills
Chapter 1 A Consultant By Any Other Name…
Consulting Skill Preview
Five Phases of Consulting:
Phase 1: Entry and Contracting
The initial contact with a client about the project.
Phase 2: Discovery and Dialogue
Consultants need to come up with their own sense of both the problem and the strengths the client has.
They also need skill in helping the client do the same.
Chapter 1 A Consultant By Any Other Name…
Consulting Skills Preview
Phase 3: Analysis and the Decision to Act
The inquiry and dialogue must be organized and reported in some fashion.
It includes setting ultimate goals for the project and selecting the best action steps or changes.
Phase 4: Engagement and Implementation
This involves carrying out the planning for phase 3.
Chapter 1 A Consultant By Any Other Name…
Consulting Skills Preview
Phase 5: Extension, Recycle, or Termination
Phase 5 is about learning from engagement.
Decision to extend the process to a larger segment of the organization.
Sometimes it is not until after some implementation occurs that a clear picture of the real problem emerges.
In this case, the process recycles and new contract needs to be discussed.
If a moderate-to-high failure, termination of further involvement on this project may be the offing.
Chapter 1 A Consultant By Any Other Name…

Chapter 3
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting
Being Authentic
Authentic behavior with a client means you put into words what you are experiencing with the client as you work.
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting
Completing The Requirements of Each Phase
In addition to being authentic, flawless consulting demands knowledge of the task requirements of each phase of the project.
These requirements are the business of each phase and must be completed before moving on.
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting

A brief description of the requirements of each phase:
Contracting
Negotiate wants.
Cope with mixed motivation.
Surface concerns about exposure and loss of control.
Understand triangular and rectangular contracts.
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting
Completing The Requirements Of Each Phase
Discovery and Inquiry
Layers of inquiry.
Political climate.
Resistance to sharing information.
The interview as a joint learning event.
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting
Completing The Requirements Of Each Phase
Feedback and the Decision to Act
Funneling data.
Presenting personal and organizational data.
Managing the meeting for action.
Focusing on the here and now.
Don’t take it personally.
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting
Completing The Requirements Of Each Phase
Engagement and Implementation

Put real choice on the table.
Change the conversation to change the culture.
Design more participation than presentation.
Bet on engagement over mandate and persuasion.
Pay attention to place.
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting
Results
It is essential to be clear on what you as consultant are responsible for and what the line manager is responsible for.
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting
Accountability
The key to increasing the chances for success is to keep focusing on how you work with clients.
Our own actions, our own awareness: this is what we should be accountable for.
Chapter 3 Flawless Consulting
The Right To Fail
No action by a consultant will guarantee results with a client.
Your own responsibility as a consultant is to present information as simply, directly, and assertively as possible and to complete the tasks of each phase of the consultation.

Flawless Consulting — Getting Your Expertise Used
By Peter Block
Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
In acting as a consultant, you always operate at two levels:
One level is the content – the cognitive part of a discussion between your self and the client.
At the same time and at another level, both you and your client are generating and sensing your feelings about each other.
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
Beyond Content
A major objective of every consultation is to encourage you to focus on and value the affective, or interpersonal, aspect of the relationship you have with the client.
There are four elements to the affective side of consultant – client interaction that are always operating:
Responsibility
Feelings
Trust
Your Own Needs
Summing Up
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
The Consultant’s Assumptions
Any view of what makes for effective consultation relies heavily on the assumptions the consultant has about what makes an effective organization.
Set of assumptions that underlie the consulting approach presented in this book:
Problem Solving Requires Valid Data
Effective Decision Making Requires Free and Open Choice
Effective Implementation Requires Internal Commitment
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
The Consultant’s Assumptions
Set of assumptions that underlie the consulting approach:
Problem Solving Requires Valid Data
Valid Data:
Objective data about ideas, events, or situations that everyone accepts as facts
Personal data are also “facts”, but they concern how individuals feels about what is happening to them and around them.
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
The Consultant’s Assumptions
Effective Decision Making Requires Free and Open Choice
Organizations seem to work better when people have an opportunity to influence decisions that have a direct impact on their work.
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
The Consultant’s Assumptions
Effective Implementation Requires Internal Commitment
People readily commit themselves to things they believe will further their interests.
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
The Consultant’s Goals
Goal 1: Establish a Collaborative Relationship
Goal 2: Solve Problems So They Stay Solved
Goal 3: Ensure Attention Is Given to Both the Technical/Business Problem and the Relationships
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
Developing Client Commitment – A Secondary Goal Of Each Consulting Act
The consultant needs to be conscious of building internal commitment throughout the consulting process.
Client commitment is the key to consultant leverage and impact.
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
Roles Consultants Choose

Decisions on how to proceed are made by the consultant on the basis of his or her expert judgment.
The consultant gathers the information needed for problem analysis and decides what methods of data collection and analysis to use.
Technical control rests with the consultant.
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
Roles Consultants Choose
Pair-of-Hands Role
The consultant takes a passive role.
The manager makes the decisions on how to proceed.
The manager selects the methods for discovery and analysis.
Control rests with manager.
Collaboration is not really necessary.
Two-way communication is limited.
The manager specifies change procedures for the consultant to implement.
The manager specifies change procedures for the consultant to implement.
The consultant’s goal is to make the system more effective by the application of specialized knowledge.
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
Roles Consultants Choose
Collaborative Role

Control issues become matters for discussion and negotiation.
Collaboration is considered essential.

The goal is to solve problems so they stay solved.
Chapter 2 Techniques Are Not Enough
