Insightful!,
This review is from: Management Consultancy: What Next? (Hardcover)
Who consults for consultants? Author Fiona Czerniawska does. In this much needed update and "substantial revision" of her prior work, `Management Consultancy in the 21st Century', she limns a convincing portrait of how the e-business earthquake has forever changed the consulting industry. Czerniawska based this book, in part, on a series of in-depth interviews with leading consultants, and she includes transcripts of those conversations as part of the book. Her narrative warns that the consulting industry is splitting into two camps: proposition developers and process experts. She outlines the changes in relationships between clients and consultants that this split is going to cause. Will the pace of change in e-business consulting slow down now that the dot.com bubble has burst? Czerniawska says "no." We believe her book is a must-read for any consultant who wants to stay ahead. Read it, and maybe you won't need to hire a consultant to keep you on track.
