This PPT slide, part of the 654-slide Business Unit Strategy Training Program PowerPoint presentation, outlines a structured process that consultants utilize to manage client engagements, emphasizing the importance of planning, fact gathering, and communication. The flowchart is divided into 3 main sections: Planning, Fact Gathering, and Communication.
In the Planning phase, the first step is to define commitments, which involves creating an issue diagram. This sets the foundation for the engagement by clarifying objectives and expectations. The second step, Plan Thinking, introduces a data framework and a matrix of data sources, ensuring that the consultant has a comprehensive understanding of the information needed. Preparing for fact gathering is the third step, which includes developing a work plan and interview guides to streamline the data collection process.
The Fact Gathering section highlights the importance of collecting relevant data, which is crucial for informed decision-making. This involves gathering facts and taking detailed notes to synthesize findings effectively. The sixth step focuses on drawing conclusions, where the consultant analyzes the data to develop insights.
Finally, the Communication phase emphasizes the need to compile findings into a structured report. This includes creating a report outline and preparing a final presentation to communicate results clearly to stakeholders.
The slide also notes that business unit strategy projects follow this consulting process, with a specific focus on 3 techniques vital for these engagements: Situation, Complication, and Overriding Question. This indicates a tailored approach to strategy development, ensuring that the unique challenges of business units are addressed effectively. Overall, the slide serves as a guide for understanding the systematic approach consultants take to drive successful outcomes in client engagements.
