Strategy training and development for Consultants

Our training and coaching solutions for consulting organisations recognise your particular needs, and the constraints and demands of the consulting profession.

WHAT WE OFFER FOR CONSULTING FIRMS AND CONSULTANTS:

Quick return on investment and high value for time spent: We appreciate the considerable pressure to deliver client value quickly. Not only is the Strategy Dynamics quick to apply, but its use saves considerable time on other work by providing a fast focus on the dominant issues involved in clients’ challenges. The training often pays for itself many times over in the first project on which participants apply their learning.

Relevancy to your client-specific issues: We recognise that, to be valuable to you, any approach has to engage quickly and deeply with the key issues in your clients’ situations.

• From the very start, Strategy Dynamics provides an integrated outlook and quantitative clarity on the objectives of any piece of client work, on the critical factors involved and the relationships between these factors.

• We emphasize application on real client cases or projects [within the constraints of client confidentiality] during the learning process, which allows you to gain significant value from the training even as it is taking place.

• The learning materials include a wide range of frameworks and templates that can be immediately used to map and address client-specific issues.

Ability to deliver results not just understanding: Whereas executives may gain value from simply understanding the implications of analysis to their business, consultants must be able to apply any method – rigorously and reliably – to a variety of situations and come up with conclusions that are demonstrably accurate and valuable.

• Our training is well-structured with opportunities to check at each stage that the frameworks are understood and accurately applied.

• The training includes numerous exercises from a wide variety of real-world cases on which participants can practice the approach.

• We offer substantial coaching for participants, allowing them to practice the approach with professional guidance. We can also work alongside your project teams if required, both between and after scheduled training occasions.

Sensitivity to time constraints: We adapt to the constraints imposed by consultants’ unique working conditions, which can make it difficult to commit large blocks of time for large groups of staff.

• SDS can design modular programmes with sessions of just 2-3 hours each, scheduled to suit project commitments of your staff. 1-2 day blocks of training are also available, if required.

• Face-to-face learning is supplemented by self-study that can be done at participants' convenience between sessions.

• An extensive array of on-line learning materials is available to deepen learning while reducing the need for face-to-face instruction.
