As organizations compete to stay relevant and meet market demands, the need for consultants who have business acumen and can support an organization in strategic planning, goal-setting, reputational repair and recovery, or organizational redesign is key for future success. Professionals will learn the foundations of consulting, from drafting a consulting contract and developing the scope of a project through setting timelines, budgets, deliverables and developing stakeholder buy-in.
