MODULE 1 Principles of Professional Consulting

Professional consulting provides clients with objective, independent expertise, advice and guidance. It can act as a facilitator for individual and organisational success. To succeed in the role, professional consultants must be knowledgeable, creative, agile and resilient. They must be proactive and able to adapt their practice to respond to client requirements in the contemporary workplace.

MODULE 2 Leadership in professional consulting

Professional consulting requires a multi-dimensional approach to leadership. Within the role, consultants need to be adept, confident and have credibility. Scenarios for consulting will typically be complex and involve building relationships with other senior leaders. Consultants may lead internal and/or external teams and work at board level.

Consultants must not only have a macro view of an organisation’s strategic context, they must also understand the impact of digital, technological and geo-political change.

Professional consulting can be transformational, shaping the way organisations think and operate. Consultants may assist clients to develop strategic objectives, consider new market opportunities, explore innovative ways of working and build organisational and staff capability. For professional consultants to deliver effective client-centric consulting they must have an in-depth understanding of consulting practice.

MODULE 4 Leading innovation and change through professional consulting

The ability to drive innovation and change is an essential skill for a professional consultant. Innovation defined simply as ‘doing something new or different’, is a powerful catalyst for change. It can revolutionise an organisation’s operational activities, create dynamic new opportunities, and contribute to the achievement of strategic goals. Change occurs in many forms and professional consultants must be able to lead changes, which may be radical, incremental or evolutionary.
