Are you a program evaluator contemplating venturing out on your own? For many, that may be both an exciting but intimidating prospect. Taught by an independent consultant, his practical workshop will reveal the simple but important skills needed to be successful. Through lecture, anecdote, discussion, small-group exercises, and independent reflection, this workshop will help participants problem solve – and develop an action plan. The teaching template combines a synthesis of management consulting literature along with evaluation and applied research processes, and entrepreneurial and small business skills. It also provides valuable samples and worksheets along with insider tips, trade secrets, and personal anecdotes to help participants identify and address the unique issues they may face. This course may go hand-in-hand with Staying the Course, which also addresses the challenges faced by independent consultants.#2012Institute #IndependentConsulting
