Some Additional Links and Resources on Management Consulting

Dr. Robert Lahm, Jr. (Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship with Western Carolina University) looks like he may have organized some links and resources on consulting here. There are a number of blogs listed along the right hand side of his web page, a number of which I have never covered on this blog before.

Additionally, about midway down the page there are some links on "Consulting 'How To'" and "Starting a Consulting Business". In the "How To" section, Dr. Lahm not only references a popular post of mine on client facilitation skills but also provides a presentation on "Consulting Basics (Class 2 Slides)" (note PPT). That Powerpoint presentation sheds even more light the importance of soft stuff in an engagement. It also provide some concrete advice on the cadence of a (desirable) consulting engagement.
