About the Course

Management consultants are paid well because they help executives to break down complex problems, make difficult decisions, and implement lasting change. Consultants know how to work smart and fast. Companies like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, EY, PWC, KPMG, and Accenture have trained thousands of consultants on useful skills, tools, methodologies. Taught by an ex-consultant from Deloitte, John Kim will give you a quick introduction to management consulting: • What do management consultants do? • What are the benefits of a consulting career? • How can you learn these consulting skills? • Why do clients hire management consultants? • What is an example of a consulting skill? This is the first course in the specialization on management consulting....

I appreciate John delivered a great course of 'Introduction to Management Consulting'. He explained detailed information about management consulting which make me more informed about the industry and consultants themselves. It's quite helpful for me to understand and broad and narrow scope in this domain knowledge. Sure, it is quite a pleasurable journey.

I greatly appreciate the time and effort put into this course to provide basic information about consulting to people who are considering the field and are interested in potentially pursuing a career in consulting.

Great course as an introduction. You can probably skip it and move on to the next course in the specialization if you have some familiarity and are looking for tools/skills directly. The professor is great at providing clarity into concepts, and the pace is easy (though you can probably finish it quicker if you'd like to).

Although I have been consulting as a solopreneur for some time now, I found the course very interesting and informative. The model of the head, the heart, and the hands is beneficial as it can help a consultant understand their audience and what approach(s) they may have to take to complete the assignment successfully.

This course was a great introduction to Management Consulting. Although I have been consulting for the past 5 years, I have felt that I have both strengths and weaknesses. I am hoping that by bringing these forward that I will improve, learn and develop into a more rounded and efficient consultant for my clients.

A very good introduction to the specialization. As professional as it can get, the instructor is very cautious to have a lot of consistency in the core message throughout all of the lessons, referencing back, but not sounding repetitive. You can tell he is well prepared and has very good teaching skills

So worth it! A terrific overview of consulting and the skills you need to be successful. I loved the healthcare/medical analogies (E.g. consultancy is like a medical residency) which I will borrow as I interview for healthcare consulting roles! Planning to finish the valuable specialization.

This course is a wonderful and easy introduction to consulting. I liked that it was divided up into student, manager, entrepreneur. That being said, I wish there had been more granular and specific methods of analysis shown. Possibly that's being saved for the intermediate course!

Amazing course! All the basics about what is consulting and, more specifically, what good consulting is, were explained. Everything is very practical and applicable, also great for discovering what skills you need to develop to be a successful management consultant.

The class was state of the art. I enjoyed Professor Kim's teaching style and approach. The discussions from the other students were a challenge. However, anytime the human element is involved, there will always be a challenge.
