Internal Consulting Skills Course

How to partner with internal (or external) stakeholders to achieve business excellence.

Performance Dynamics presents the leading classroom and online internal consulting skills training course in Australia, New Zealand, UK and Asia. If you need to build relationships with stakeholders in your organisation, understand their business needs, promote cross-functional collaboration, present business solutions, influence them and build their ownership and commitment to action, then your success will be boosted by developing your internal consulting skills.

Definition of internal consulting:

  • Using your specialist knowledge to add value in a situation where someone without your expertise has discretion to make the final decision
  • Collaborating with stakeholders to understand their needs, gather information, reveal insights, identify solutions and plan suitable action

Learn how to boost your skills as a business partner, have greater impact and make better use of your specialist or technical knowledge. You can attend a 2-day public course delivered online via online Zoom course or we can run this course for you as an in-house course at your location in Australia, New Zealand or Asia.

Designed to help you develop the practical skills required in a consulting role. In the practical case study simulation you will work in a team of up to 8 participants. Guided by one of our experienced facilitators you and your team will plan and take part in a lively and realistic simulation of a consulting assignment - from initial contact with the client or stakeholder through to a successful implementation. You will learn how to deal with the real-life hurdles internal consultants face and how to use many professional consulting tools and techniques. In the seminar presentations, discussions and practice exercises you will discover how to deal with difficult situations, influence difficult clients, build highly productive working relationships and re-position your work team as an "added-value" business partner.
