Practical Project Management for Management Consultants

What is the aim of this course. Managing Consulting Projects is extremely difficult. You work in a hostile environment, long hours on difficult things.

On top of that, the bill for your services for the customer is pretty high so he will want to squeeze out of you as much as possible. At the same time, his people may dislike you as you are an outsider who in their point of view pretends to know better. Therefore, many Project Managers fail on deadlines or cannot deliver value for the customer.

Luckily there is a way to do a consulting project on time, get your customer and the people happy with the result, as well as get well paid for your work. This course will help you drastically improve your knowledge and skills in managing a consulting project. It is designed for project managers, especially those working in consulting.
