ORG 7080 - Consulting Skills


Consulting Skills explores the nature of consulting as a learning and helping process between an individual and a group, focusing on the interpersonal skills and processes that make up the helping process. This course uses classic works from Peter Block and Edgar Schein as well as action research as a framework for the consulting process. Students learn how to contract, construct an inquiry or assessment process, engage in and with an organizational system, design processes appropriate to the organizational need, and provide feedback systems to ensure that learning and development is sustained. 3 credit(s)
