May Chapter Meeting - The Recipe for Effective Consulting

Tuesday, May 18, 2021 -

4:00pm to 5:30pm

Overview and Learning Objectives

Every good recipe is made of the right amount of ingredients to ensure the end product is as delicious as possible. When one of the KEY ingredients is off, or even missing, the recipe may not render the same delicious results. Of course you do have opportunity to improve, and find ways to improve the recipe better, but there is always a foundation to build off of. In addition to the ingredients, every good recipe has instructions on how to blend those ingredients to produce the end product. How you blend those ingredients can greatly impact the end result. As business analysis evolves so does the role we play. We are consulted for our expertise to help draw out and bring forth business needs to help build transformational solutions. Not only do we need to bring our skills and experience to the table, but we need to effectively consult to build the powerful transformational solutions needed. There are ingredients to effectively consult, and there are instructions on how to effectively blend those ingredients together to be effective. In this session participants will learn:

What is effective consulting?
What are the ingredients of effective consulting?
How do you blend the ingredients to become the consultant the organization cannot live without?
How to pay it forward to others?
