In general, this book explains the fundamental aspects and things that a consultant does, from meeting clients to presenting the solutions offered to solve a company's problems. This book is very concise and easy to understand and can provide an overview for ordinary people about what a consultant does.

This book is what it says: an introduction to the basic principles of effective consulting. It's clear, concise, linear, and completely reasonable. The author introduces a few case studies and commentary from real world consultants and businesspeople. If you're interested in getting an overview of the consulting field, this is a place to start.

One of the most straight-forward, comprehensive, methodical books I have ever read on the subject of consulting. I'm using it as the main text for a graduate course on the topic of Health Care Consulting that I am teaching in April 2010.

Also good insights and relevant to real life situations. Some good takeaways even for business development and project management in service industries (such as technology implementation).
