Consulting

We have discussed (among a myriad of things) the essential criteria needed to be a consultant, Subject Matter Expertise and years of relevant experience. We have identified the three types of skills a Flawless Consultant develops, Technical Skills, Interpersonal Skills, and Consulting Skills. We have explored Block’s 5 phases of consulting, Contracting, Discovery, Analysis, Implementation, and Extend, Recycle, or Terminate.

Additionally, we have emphasized the importance of being an authentic consultant/leader, developing relationships, and the benefits of a collaborative consulting model. We have looked at a new selling paradigm – Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity (because good contracting is good selling) and core individual motivators – Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose (because organizations don’t change – people change). Lastly, we discussed implementation is LESS about the technical aspects and MORE about the (people, relationship, support for change) which supports sustainability. So What!
