About the Course

This is the #4 course in the specialization on management consulting. Management consultants are quick learners. When you first join a generalist consulting firm, you are expected to learn core consulting skills and will likely be staffed on projects across industry and functions. You might be on a chemicals pricing project, then a retail cost-reduction project. It’s critical that you learn “how to get smart quickly” and ask smart questions. At the same time, you should develop an armory of tools to create data through client interviews, surveys, benchmarking, and observations....

Great course on consulting tips. I learned about how to do financial analysis for different companies, how to do self research, paid research on clients and competitors. How to do surveys and how do they help? How practical observations can be helpful to get new data. Importance of benchmarking and take insights from comparing those benchmark parameters.

Among all the courses I have taken on Coursera, this one has truly been the best. Without a doubt, the way you taught — especially your use of voice, communication skills, and body language — was outstanding. It kept me engaged and motivated to follow the lessons and apply them in practice. What I appreciated most was how natural and encouraging your teaching style felt. It didn’t just deliver knowledge, it inspired action. This course is not only informative but also empowering, and I believe it will stay with me for a long time. Thank you for creating such a valuable learning experience. Additionally, I believe the learning experience could be even more effective if the video lessons were produced in shorter segments — ideally no longer than ten minutes each. This would make them easier to follow, improve focus, and increase overall efficiency.

I really enjoyed taking this course! I couldn't help but make notes and pause the video just to get as much from the course as I could. I found the activities desgined very well and very insight as well.

Benchmarking beautifully explained. It was a learning for me, though I have been doing it in bits and pieces in my career. The last 2 sessions on Excel were wonderful. Thanks Dr John.
