For only the second time, Alan Weiss is presenting a comprehensive workshop on the techniques, methodology, approaches, and secrets that have made him "one of the most highly respected independent consultants in the country" (the New York Post).
This 1.5-day intensive, interactive workshop is for both new and veteran consultants. Unlike all of Alan's previous developmental offerings, this session will not focus at all on marketing, sales, or practice management.
|
At our previous session in Providence, we had 90 people from six countries attend, and we were sold out. The response was that this is a unique experience in consulting excellence, unavailable anywhere else.

|
This session is about becoming outstanding at a variety of basic and advanced consulting approaches.
Participants, through a combination of discussion, case studies, role-plays, and preparation material will learn high-powered approaches which will include:
- How to conduct interviews and focus groups.
- How to design surveys.
- How to really coach using behavioral objectives.
- Which instruments are effective and which are invalid and dangerous.
- How to interpret and change culture.
- The role of exemplars and how to co-opt them.
- How to overcome internal resistance.
- How to absolutely minimize labor intensity.
- Best practices in acquiring, managing, and compensating sub-contractors.
- How to obtain and utilize client resources and accommodations.
- How to secure and use the buyer's clout to overcome obstacles.
- Design and use of 360° instruments.
- How to evaluate and employ a contingency leadership methodology.
- Master facilitation skills.
- Gaining discretionary time while accelerating project results.
- Best practices in remote consulting practices.
- How to formulate strategy and avoiding the hackneyed "SWOT."
- How to provide rational problem solving and decision making skills.
- How to provide feedback, confront, and challenge the client.
- How to avoid creating political problems and focus on evidence.
In addition, every participant will:
- Receive copies of Alan's three books on methodology: Process Consulting, Organizational Consulting, and The Unofficial Guide to Power Management.
- Receive copies of two of Alan's most popular CDs: High Performance Coaching and Framing Skills.
- Receive detailed preparation work and case studies to maximize application to actual challenges currently faced.
- Receive 30 minutes of phone coaching 60 days after the session to maximize application of the concepts.
- Receive the 90+ page Best Practices in Consulting Manual, with all the program visuals, case studies, and supporting text.

"Your last Best Practices workshop was a career-changing experience for me, a quantum leap into a much more sophisticated way of working than I had done previously. I am in a suburb of Atlanta, GA tonight on a new consulting/coaching assignment, and I conducted the initial interviews in a completely (and much superior) way than I would have prior to attending your last workshop in Providence.
So thanks, yet again, to you, Alan, for your wise counsel and your generous heart. You can be sure I have already done better work on my first day here than I have ever done on a first day of any prior assignment, thanks to your teaching and mentoring."

Start the New Year With Great Consulting Models
This ground breaking, career changing workshop is currently scheduled only once: June 1-2 in San Francisco, CA (site TBA). There is simply no other professional development on consulting skills of this quality anywhere. ("Alan Weiss is a worldwide expert in executive education"—Success Magazine.) Take your existing practice to a new level of effectiveness or jump-start your new practice.
The tuition for this workshop is $1,195 and includes a day and a half of development, two continental breakfasts, three refreshment breaks, three books, two CDs, the Best Practices Manual, advance work, and 30 minutes of phone coaching.
That's a bargain, and will be recouped quickly through better consulting, better margins, and decreased labor intensity. However, you can lower that fee significantly through the following options:
- If you're a Mentor Program member, take 50% off the fee. (Want to join the Mentor Program? click here.
- If you're a member of the Society for Advancement of Consulting (SAC®) take 25% off the fee during that time period. Want to join SAC? click here. You can join for $300 if you qualify, and save almost $300 on tuition, making membership free!)
- If you're a member of IMC, take 20% off the fee during that time period (10% is removed from the fee, and 10% goes to IMC for development purposes).
- If you're a member of Women in Consulting take 20% off the fee during that time period.
- Sign up with someone from your firm and each additional person will receive a 20% discount from the fee during that time period.
Can't attend? The Home Study version is available on our web site.
If you've attended the prior event you can attend this one for a flat fee of $350.
NOTE: You must have attended this event or the prior one to qualify for the unbelievable Graduate Program we are planning for next year.
NOTE: Sorry, but only one form of discount per person!
Cancellation policy: 100% credit toward any of Alan's workshops, including the Million Dollar Consulting™ College, without time limit. There are no refunds unless the program is canceled by us.

An offer from Alan:
Fine Print: If you've read this far, then here's another offer. The first 15 people who register AND pay an additional $200 above their appropriate tuition amount, which I will be donating to charity and matching, will have dinner with me after the first day of the session at one of my favorite restaurants. Attire will be business casual and the conversation will be highly charged. You may learn more at dinner than anywhere else! Fifteen people only! We had 55 requests for dinner at the first workshop! (We were able to make substantial donations to an animal protection league, a ballet, and a doctors' group which corrects deformities among impoverished children.)
What are you waiting for? There is nothing to equal this consulting content, and it's only the second time it's being shared.
