Описание: This book traces the emergence and development of the relationship between management consultancies and the British state. It seeks to answer three questions: why were management consultants brought into the machinery of the state; how has state power been impacted by bringing profit-seeking actors into the machinery of the state; and how has the nature of management consultancy changed over time?The book demonstrates the role consultants played in major developments in the postwar period. Specific case studies interrogate how consultancies influenced the policy fields of health service reform and social security benefits. This book will redefine debates amongst business historians and historians of the postwar British state about the nature of management consultancy and public sector reform.
Описание: When organizational leaders reflect on who has most impacted their lives, their careers, and their sense of purpose, chances are significant that they will name a humanistic consultant. The humanistic approach to working with individuals and organizations spans leadership development, executive coaching, organization development practice, organizational behavior teaching, and efforts to transform and revitalize entire organizational systems. Its tools and techniques are borrowed from clinical psychology, counselling, therapeutic approaches, and business change strategies.The historical roots of humanistic consulting practice, its cross-functional applications, and its powerful potential have, for too long, gone unexamined. No other book traces the influence of therapeutic models, existential philosophy and humanistic values on organizational consultation, coaching, and leadership development. Uniquely, it moves beyond a historical narrative and offers perspective, insights, and ideas for practitioners, managers, researchers and students.

Philanthropy is on the rise around the world, working in the fields of health, development and, most often, education. Different from charity, now donations are used as "social investment" with specific goals. In education, big corporations and wealthy businessmen strive to reform education through their philanthropic "giving", and have managed to assemble considerable influence in policymaking processes in many countries. But how do new philanthropy organisations promote education reform? And how does their policy work look like in practice? In this book, the author analyses the efforts of large foundations in Brazilian education governance to address these questions. Though having the main empirical setting of Brazilian institutions, this book analyses networks, policies and discourses that surpass national borders and also addresses how new philanthropists are connected to global networks. With support of network ethnography and concepts from Political Science and Human Geography, the author invites the readers to challenge preconceived ideas of how governments and new philanthropy operate, and observe the behind-the-scenes work of new philanthropy to reform education.

Описание: This is the practical approach I wish I had come across much earlier in my career. Cynthia Pexton-Shaw
Whether you are just starting out, considering or already working as a consultant this book is essential reading, enabling you to understand the needs of your client and to get the result they want.

This book, based on the experience of training thousands of consultants, provides insights into the key processes of selling and delivering consulting services, together with the essential underpinning tools and techniques, and the commercial imperatives for running a successful consulting practice.

'This is the practical approach I wish I had come across much earlier in my career. Calvert provides a strong guiding framework for delivering consultancy projects from beginning to end. His writing makes consulting easily accessible for anyone who wishes to deliver their particular expertise into a client organisation.' Cynthia Pexton-Shaw, Elevation Learning
'A book that gets to multiple editions is clearly a classic of its sector. Calvert's is in its seventh and will probably go on to many more. It achieves a threefold feat: of being useful to the expert and to the recently qualified and to the student. Even those of us who have spent decades in this profession need a consultancy bible to refer to. Calvert shows how to be rigorous and systematic, but the book is packed with practical advice from one who is both an academic expert and a senior practising consultant. This is both The Art and The Science of Consultancy.' Ian Watson - Immediate Past Chair ICMCI
'This book explains in plain English the role and daily challenges of life as a management consultant, and has been an excellent source of reference in building our business. Calvert presents a practitioners view covering the requisite soft skills as well as the mechanics of solving the client's business problems.' Martyn Evans, Consulting Director, Altus
Drawing on extended ethnographic studies of management consultancies in the Oslo region of Norway, this book seeks to find a richer understanding of their role in contemporary work life and the attraction their practices exert on people. The author shows that management consultancy is an arena of meaning that should be analysed as a ‘cultural space’. With a detailed investigation into consultancy as a cultural phenomenon, Henningsen argues that its services can be viewed as a ‘micro-utopian’ vision which can lead to a happier working environment for individuals.

Описание: A volume in Research in Management Consulting Series Editor Anthony F. Buono, Bentley University This book is the 20th volume in the Research in Management Consulting series and the sixth major collaboration with Henri Savall, V ronique Zardet, and their team of intervener-researchers from the Socio- Economic Institute for Firms and Organizations (ISEOR) in Lyon- cully, France. In 2013, for the first time, ISEOR co-sponsored a conference on its Socio-Economic Approach to Management (SEAM) paradigm and methodology in the United States. The volume captures the ideas, applications, and exchanges of that meeting hosted by the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The book attempts to bring the reader into the conference itself. The different chapters include the contributors' presentations ("Chapter Prologue: Conference Remarks"), revised conference papers, and the question and answer dialogue for the session. For those interested in delving further into the SEAM approach, the volume also contains a general bibliography on the development, critique, and application of the framework.
