Questions about this course

How is this different from new consultant training?

New consultant training teaches the fundamentals of the job. Good to Great assumes people already know the job and are billing, and focuses on what the most profitable consultants do differently.

Can the course be tailored to our market?

Every course is written for your business, using your markets, your clients and the situations your people actually face.

Can it be delivered online?

Yes. The online version runs live in two or three modules of around two to three hours, with up to 8 people, so the office keeps running between sessions.
