Full Seminar Description

To perform successfully as internal consultants, human resources professionals must progress beyond merely understanding the consulting process and actually begin to apply this knowledge to projects. These projects could span a range of possibilities including: working with internal clients; addressing business-related issues, problems, challenges, initiatives, and programs related to organizational strategy; business development; departmental efficiency.

In this workshop, the seven stages of internal consulting are put into action through a focus on organizational strategy, client needs, project planning, data gathering/analysis, and developing and presenting plans for moving forward with project goals and objectives. You will learn to:

• Build a framework for developing a project definition
• Develop a client-service focus
• Demonstrate the keys to building credibility
• Examine the dynamics of data gathering/analysis
• Present plans for working on project goals and objectives

Key Topics

• Exploring the strategic context of internal consulting
• Understanding client needs
• Developing project definitions
• Drafting the project plan and developing a timeline
• Anticipating client questions about the project plan
• Interacting effectively with your internal client(s)
