CONSULTING THAT MATTERS GEBUNDEN

Each year  thousands of consulting contracts are awarded by organizations to experts who help
them with challenges involving people  processes  technologies  goals  resource allocation 
decision making  problem solving  and more. These experts - consultants - diagnose problems 
recommend solutions  facilitate interventions  and evaluate outcomes that are often related to
human communication. Some consultants are academicians skilled in both doing and interpreting
research for clients  others are practitioners with little use for research and theory. Driving
all of the ideas showcased in Consulting That Matters: A Handbook for Scholars and
Practitioners is the premise that sound theory and research are critical to consulting success
and should be the blueprints for successful organizational transformation. Thus  this book is
for all types of consultants  including the very best who are at the top of their games and
those who believe theory and research belong in ivory towers  notbusiness settings. Featuring a
«who's who» of preeminent communication scholars consultants  each author shares frameworks 
strategies  and examples from their own diverse experiences  all grounded in rich  substantive
theory and research. The volume offers even the most skilled and experienced consultants a
range of alternative approaches  paradigms  and competencies to build their credibility and
make them more valuable to their clients in a dynamic  ever-evolving business climate.
