Tools for project management, workshops and consulting

Meer over het boek

Written by a professional consultant and executive coach, this book serves as a unique reference for those engaged in consulting, project management, and problem-solving. It provides cookbook-style access to over 100 essential skills, focusing on the tools and techniques of the trade rather than just the management of consulting practices or projects. Each tool or technique is detailed with components such as intention (when to use it), purpose (what it achieves), instructions (how to implement it), tips, examples, and cross-references to related tools. To facilitate personal use, the tools are organized into task-specific categories: Define Situation, Gather Information, Creativity, Goal Setting, Organisational Analysis, Technical Analysis, Strategic Analysis, Decision Making, Project Management, Checklists and Questions, and Scenarios. Additionally, the author rates each tool based on applicability, ease of use, and effectiveness. Prof. Dr. Tom Sommerlatte praises it as the "universal field theory of problem solving," highlighting its comprehensive and practical approach to mastering essential skills in the field.
