Synopsis

This authoritative new book explores the relationship between top management consultant teams and their clients. It presents through a series of case studies, from both the private and public sectors, best-practice consulting at the sharp end of contemporary management across all management disciplines. The case studies are drawn from the MCA Awards, which recognise Best Practice in all the categories of management. Firms present qualifying client engagements for evaluation by a distinguished panel drawn from industry and academia. Each case study explores a unique business situation and the way it was tackled by the team, and also examines how those teams responded to challenges during their projects and the unexpected lessons they learned. The case studies are embedded within an explanatory framework that draws out common themes, relates the case studies to generic models, and discusses how their approaches can be applied in other businesses. Case study clients include the International Olympic Committee, Sun Microsystems, Apache Corporation, Aon, Tesco, BT Business, MoD, Westminster City Council, BAE Systems, GCHQ, Sainsbury's Supermarkets, Home Office, Transport for London, and NHS Trusts.

Media Reviews
No element of modern management goes uncovered. A clear demonstration of the tangible and intangible benefits that can result from a client-consultant relationship. MBA Business Czerniawska [is] one of the world's leading commentators on the consulting industry. Consulting to Management Management consultants - or at least the benefits they bring - are regarded with a good deal of scepticism by big business, and the media delight in telling us of big government project failures. This book does a great job of redressing the balance. Professor Robert Worcester, Chairman, MORI This book illustrates clearly the experience of working with consultants and the tangible and intangible benefits that can result from an effective client-consultant relationship. Martin Whiteley, Managing Director, Capita Consulting Whether a proficient consultant or experienced user, this book provides rich food for thought. Professor Timothy Clark, Durham Business School These case studies provide a fascinating insight into effective partnerships between consultants and their clients... the authors have created a valuable and readable resource for managers, consultants and business students. Victor Smart, Head of External Communications, Audit Commission
