Practical insights and lessons learnt from a 30-year practitioner and executive-level consultant with engagements undertaken in 40+countries. a relaxed and informal chat about some ideas that can help you start, build or evolve your advisory, consulting or project management business and practice. This course covers a variety of topics ranging from client relationships and value-delivery, to contracting, pricing, sales and activities in international markets. The approach is conversational and draws on first-hand experience, including mistakes and lees-than-ideal choices made over a long career in advisory activity with clients up to C-suite, Board and Ministerial levels.

We will approach each lecture based on a framework of "Principle, Process and Practice": introduce an idea, and explore its practical application. Additionally, we ask you to think about commercial value and ROI throughout the course, and provide illustrative examples (not warranties of any type! :) ) of the ROI you might expect from applying lessons from each module of the program. The accompanying PowerPoint deck serves as a resource you can refer back to whenever you need to, and core modules include suggested applications of a concept or insight to help you immediately turn the course content into concrete outcomes.

Whether you are a recent graduate exploring a role with an advisory element to it, a mid-career experienced individual considering a shift to consulting or in post-retirement, looking to translate your expertise into value for your clients and yourself, this course has something for you.
