Why you should read Management Consultancy

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." getAbstract.com believes 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.
