Think Like A Strategy Consultant – Paul Millerd

Description

Master the secrets of elite consultants in four weeks

A four-week course designed to help you master the secrets of elite strategy consultants like the pyramid principle, MECE, structured problem solving, and persuasive storytelling with slides.

An Online Course To Teach You The Tools, Mindsets, & Principles of Top-Tier Strategy Consultants

Here’s a secret no one will tell you:

It’s easier to hire former strategy consultants to run your company than promote from within

Why?

Consulting firms train people to think like CEOs. Every piece of information is tested against the question, “why does this matter for the company?”

So What?

When former consultants join companies in various industries they are playing a different game than everyone else. They understand the bigger picture and don’t get stuck in their careers.

I want to teach you the tools, frameworks and secrets of strategy consulting so you can:

Escape Middle Management

• Don’t get lost staying busy instead of getting promoted. I want to help you learn the skills to stand out as the go-to person on the team

Influence & Persuade Senior Leaders

• The highest levels of the organization need to know what they are looking at, why it matters, and what to do next. I’ll help you learn this language.

Develop A Process For Doing Great Work

• Companies prioritize getting things done, not your growth. I will teach you a “process” for approaching your work so that you are always getting better.

This Course Is For:

• Strategy, Financial & Analytics Leaders: Who work with data are actively helping to shape the direction of their company, solving complex problems and giving executive-level presentations
• Senior Executives: Who want to learn how to develop a strategy, communicate to senior leaders & Boards, and want to have more confidence in developing a vision
• Freelance Consultants: Who never worked at a top consulting firm but do data-intensive or information-heavy work with clients.
• Students or New Grads: Who want to improve their corporate communications and problem solving (this is not a good fit for case practice)
• How Do Consulting Firms Charge $500k+ A Month? It starts with simple (but hard to master) principles…

Pyramid Principle

• Learn how to structure your thinking to make compelling arguments

MECE

• Learn how to simplify ideas to make them more memorable & persuasive

PowerPoint Storytelling

• Learn how to make PowerPoints that don’t put people to sleep
