I am currently an MBA student at Arizona State University, West Campus. As part of my Consulting Management class, taught by Dr. Alan Goldman, I had to read "High Impact Consulting" by Robert Schaffer.Dr. Goldman insisted we read this book, and I am thankful that he introduced me to such a great work! Even if is not on our job description, we all act, in a higher or lower degree, as consultants in our firms. This book makes so much sense! A true consultant wants to really help his/her client and wants to see results and improvements. Mr. Schaffer offers practical ideas how to avoid failure and achieve success. Unlike the wildly spread "Trojan horse" approach adopted by a large number of consulting companies, this book is advocating "rapid-cycle, results-oriented projects designed for client-learning as well as for achievement".Every manager should read this book - the ones that do act as consultants should cherish it, the ones that hire consultants, should use it as a guideline.
