Every consulting project has its governance, which is not always explicitly agreed with the client. This book describes the fundamentals of governance in consulting projects and explains the concept and the concrete implementation in practice. It describes the individual elements of consulting governance and illustrates the implementation with practical examples, accompanied by frameworks, reference models, roadmaps and checklists that facilitate the transfer into practice. In addition, the opportunities and risks of consulting governance are presented from the perspective of both the consulting client and the service provider, and the future of international developments of governance consulting are highlighted.
The book is aimed at consultants, coaches, trainers and mediators as well as executives and project managers who are responsible for the implementation of consulting projects.
