Post-engagement communication -- Appendix A -- Appendix B -- Notes -- References -- Index. 330 3 $aFrom the moment of their first client engagement, consultants in all fields face communication opportunities and challenges. No matter what their focus may be--professional services, accounting, technology, operations, human resources, manufacturing, or marketing--consultants drive change. That change, from its initial definition through its development and deployment, must be precisely communicated to a variety of audiences and through a variety of mediums. Most business communication books do a good job leading professional writers and presenters through the basics of audience, organization, formatting, and mechanics. But, only few focus on a specific business role, such as that of a consultant, and give guidance for communicating during all stages of a project. From the pre-engagement process, to the actual engagement, to the post-engagement follow-up, consultants are challenged by the variety of audiences whose roles continually shift throughout a project. This book guides a current or would-be consultant through the various phases of a typical engagement and gives practical advice and direction on written and oral communication throughout a project. Current and future consultants in all fields will gain specific knowledge about writing and presenting to a variety of audiences including clients, team members, managers, and executives. 410 0$aCorporate communication collection.$x2156-8170 606 $aBusiness communication 606 $aBusiness consultants 610 $abusiness communication 610 $abusiness correspondence 610 $abusiness etiquette 610 $abusiness writing 610 $aconsulting 610 $ae-mails 610 $aengagements 610 $ameetings 610 $apresentations 610 $aproposals 610 $areports 615 0$aBusiness communication. 615 0$aBusiness consultants. 676 $a658.45 700 $aOwens$b Rita R.$01698492 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807003603321 996 $aCommunication for consultants$94080006 997 $aUNINA
