| Common Sense Consulting for the 21st Century Five New e-Books for Consulting Providers & Receivers |
"The ACI-Xray" is Book 1 of a 5 Book Series, entitled "Common Sense
Consulting for the 21st Century."
LEARN HOW TO BECOME AN EFFECTIVE CONSULTANT
There is no better way to learn how to be an effective consultant than
to read this five-book series, beginning with The ACI-Xray.
The strategy of the five book series is to guide the reader through each
day of a real world consulting engagement. In this business case study,
two fictitious consultants (Hornet and Cato) have won a contract with a
Sports Facility that delivers hockey, figure skating, and fitness center
services for its members. The same techniques used in this organization will
apply to an for-profit or non-profit organization.
The Sports Facility employees fifty people including the management
team. The goal is to transform this poorly performing Sports Facility
business that is currently losing money every month, into a high performing
organization that achieves its financial and business goals, becomes a
great place to work and a wonderful experience for its member customers.
The consulting contract is six weeks in duration. The ACI-Xray book
covers the first five days of the engagement in which the ACI-Xray program
is used to conduct an in-depth organizational assessment.
The ACI-Xray book, like all the books in this five-book series is written in
a style similar to "The Goal" by Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Cox. This style
follows a present tense "Socratic method" dialogue in which fictitious
consultants (Hornet and Cato) pose leading questions to managers and
workers in order to guide them toward logical thinking and discovery of
learning and ideas that lead toward long-term organizational improvement.

WHY BECOME AN EFFECTIVE CONSULTANT?
Consulting Service Providers that wish to pursue consulting as a career
should be encouraged by the outlook for this field. Management Analysts
now engaged in consulting projects as well as students or executives who
are preparing for future jobs as Management Analysts should find this
book highly informative and useful in learning what it is really like to be
successful in consulting with organizations. The future of Management
Analysts is one of the few "great hopes" for future careers in the USA and
worldwide. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics recently updated its
Occupational Outlook Handbook with this forecast.
Employment of management analysts is expected to grow by 24 percent,
much faster than the average, over the 2008-18 decade, as industry and
government increasingly rely on outside expertise to improve the
performance of their organizations. Source: www.bls.gov
Consulting Service Providers can earn substantial revenue through capture
of new consulting engagements and executing five-day on-site ACI-Xray
engagements similar to the one described in our e-book. Typical Consulting
Service Providers earn a consulting rate of $125 per hour for 40 hours per
week, or a total of $5000. Many consultants have much higher rates.
