Excellent Consulting Book

There are a lot of good books on consulting out there, and this is one of the best. Linda K. Stroh and Homer H. Johnson cover all of the basics of good consulting - establishing expectations and goals with a client, proposal preparation, developing a project strategy, presenting your findings, and project wrap-up.

The authors include the perspectives of third parties in their "From the Experts..." inserts throughout the book. These inserts present a point-of-view from outside experts on topics such as "Data Collection Begins at the Beginning!", "Listen Up!", and "Presenting the Findings". As an author myself, I like this approach to writing.

This is a well-organized, informative book written by professionals who know what it takes to be a successful consultant. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Consulting Tool

I am in agreement with the review written by Margaret Neale of Stanford University in that this book is able to effectively travel the distance between novice and experienced consultants alike. This will certainly prove to be an excellent consulting tool for everyone and anyone who reads and embracing the lessons within The Basic Principles of Effective Consulting. I would highly recommend this book.

Review of Book

Great book! I liked how the book goes through each step of the consulting process. Follow the steps and you can't go wrong. Probably the best feature is the practical advice given in each of the chapters. For example, the authors tell you what questions to ask in the first meeting with a client, how to write a successful proposal and contract, how to conduct interviews, how to collect data, how to present your results, and a ton of other very helpful information. I also liked the brief pieces of advice given by expert consultants that appear in every chapter. No question in my mind that if you follow the process and advice in this book you will have a very successful consulting practice. This one's a keeper!

This is a very good time for consultants. As corporations have been reorganizing and downsizing, merging and globaliing, the consulting business has been booming.

The Basic Principles of Effective Consulting is about what effective consultants do and how they do it. It provides a step-by-step process that can provide successful outcomes for consultants and their clients. The chapters have plenty of examples and cases of the process used by effective consultants, as cases and examples are one of the best ways to learn the consulting business. Also provided as part of each chapter are short pieces of expert advice by established consultants and users of consulting services.
