What this is

How consultants scope a problem, structure the work, run the analysis and land a recommendation a client will act on. The course is organized into 6 modules — framing the problem, structuring, gathering evidence, analysis, recommendation and storyline and delivery and implementation — with 18 lessons in total, so you build the skill in a sensible order and can return to any part when you need it.

It does not promise consulting work, clients or a consulting career. It teaches the structured problem-solving methods consultants use, which apply equally to internal strategy and operations roles.

What you will be able to do

  • Frame a problem as a clear, answerable question
  • Structure work using issue trees and hypotheses
  • Gather and assess evidence efficiently
  • Analyze findings and draw sound conclusions
  • Build a recommendation storyline and support implementation
