Key Expectations for New Consultants in Value Addition PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 24-slide How to Be a Great Consultant PowerPoint presentation, outlines the expectations for new consultants in the area of value addition, structured around 4 key phases: identifying the action, formulating the problem, planning the work, executing the work, and interpreting the analysis.

Starting with the baseline expectations, consultants are required to identify key issues within their workstream. This foundational step is critical as it sets the stage for subsequent actions. The slide emphasizes the importance of formulating specific hypotheses that are logical and adhere to the MECE principle—mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. This ensures that the consultant's approach is comprehensive and avoids overlap.

In the planning phase, the focus shifts to developing blank slides and designing analyses to effectively communicate findings. Consultants are expected to create templates for data gathering, identify checkpoints, and establish a timeline for deliverables. This structured planning is essential for maintaining clarity and direction throughout the project.

Execution involves gathering primary data efficiently while adhering to a zero-defect analysis approach. The slide highlights the need to avoid crunch time, which can compromise the quality of work. This phase is about rigorous data collection and analysis to support the hypotheses developed earlier.

Finally, interpreting the analysis requires a reality check to gauge client reactions and ensure that expected results are delivered. This phase is crucial for validating the consultant's work and ensuring alignment with client expectations. Overall, the slide serves as a comprehensive guide for new consultants, outlining critical steps to add value effectively in their roles.
