A Solution Seeking A Problem?

A good book with some solid approaches to consulting that many have found to be useful.

The only downside, if you can call it that, is that quite a number of the solutions may not work well in a good number of real-world consulting assignments.

Overall not a bad read and worth further investigation if you're looking for something to lead you step-by-step through solving certain client problems.

Valuable Book

This is a wonderful book that combines the expertise of a wide range of experts in the consulting field. Due to the different styles of the authors, the reader is bound to find several that really address their concerns.

The book is a useful toolkit as it has templates that one can easily adapt to meet their needs. Most of the common consulting problems are addressed. Among the readily useable tools are the various exercises, questionnaires and reproducible worksheets and techniques for working with clients, among others, which make this a very user friendly book that makes life easier for a consultant, particularly those like me that are relatively new to the profession.

This is a well written book that is easy to follow and understand and that should be a valuable tool to both the seasoned professional and the novice. It is certainly a very valuable reference book that can be used as a checklist when delivering services.

This book led me to synergist my P2P bottom-line best practices, to synergize both inside and outside the box, to leverage a value-added, results-driven mindset for their B2B core competencies in which their historical trends have led me to conclude that by doubling or even tripling their efforts of efficiency on the office front, it will yield a new entity of massive synergistic proportions.

Worth the Price

Part of my consulting practice is to create and facilitate group learning for various situations. I enjoy leafing through this book to both remind myself of tools, techniques and concepts I have explored in the past, and also to expand my options to incorporate new material into the mix. It is a bit like hanging out with a bunch of other consultants for a day to share ideas.

Good Starter Package

you'll find a good deal of material here. silberman hasn't published much consultancy stuff since this hit the market - the fact that this book is 8 years old makes some of the content outdated. he is a dependable author though, who provides alot of practical advice. if you are looking for an author who can teach you how to train - check some of his other books. if you are looking for a full system of diagnostic tools - ready made, this is for you. many of them require modification, but that's the case with any book like this. i would also spend the money on some of alan weiss' books. in my view, they are more relavent and comprehensive.
