For anyone who works as a professional consultant, this book is a must read. It really aids in laying out the specifics of a profession that there really isn’t a job description for. Great insight in how to help clients get the most from your talent and how to develop your own skills as a consultant.

I have given high marks to all AW books, which I have read. I like the style as find that each book is well worth the price. This book more than others is “original” in that AW provides pragmatic advice on how to evaluate a multitude of situations even thorny ones. He also offers good advice on handling corporate politics, which is priceless at any level of consulting. I put this advice to good use immediately. You will also find little material in this book that is also available in his other books. I also strongly suggest all the other books in the Ultimate series.

Where Alan Weiss other books deal with the business side of consulting, this one is a collection of hands-on tools every consultant needs to have in his set. Among topics treated are information gathering, coaching, culture change, and leadership. Ever mindful of the need to create value, the book also teaches you to create conditions for a successful consulting assignment by dealing with the key players and avoiding political landmines within the client organisation, avoiding intimidation and pushing back when you have to.
The numerous case studies further bring the tools and their correct application into sharper relief.

There are a LOT of essentially useless, empty, vague or impractical books about “how to be a consultant” out there. Process Consulting by Alan Weiss is NOT one of them.
This volume is appropriate for both internal and external consultants, and Weiss’s guidelines are applicable across a broad range of consulting industries – not just corporate or management arenas.
Process Consulting shows how to:
~ create the environment for a successful intervention
~ gather the right information effectively & efficiently
~ create dynamic interventions that yield measurable results
~ coach key players and overcome resistance to change
Whether you’re a long-time consultant or relatively new to the field, Process Consulting belongs on your bookshelf. It will not disappoint!
