We few friends have decided to study Consulting.
Though we all have gone through research training, and possess skills required for consulting.
That training was more from an academic research perspective.
Now we wish to revisit these concepts in consulting context.
After speaking to colleagues in consulting, doing some basic googling, and looking at course outlines of a few courses, We have gathered some resources. This blog post is outcome of that.
One of the first things one can do while studying a new topic/subject is to join a course available on the topic.
We found one available on Coursera offered by faculty who worked as a consultant. It’s a specialization (series of few courses).
