Background / Major Themes
Objectives- helping develop your competence and expertise as

a manager using consultancy type research.
Important to stress that consultancy type projects and research are among the most useful vehicles for helping to acquire and develop transferable skills needed for personal and professional development throughout a management/executive career.
Tempting to believe that once a professional has been trained, perhaps through completing successfully a course of study, passing the requisite examinations and assessments, and receiving a qualification of some kind, that thereis no need for any further training and development, rather the professionalcan now get on with simply practising and applying his/her skills and knowledge.
However, such a belief is misplaced

Слайд 11

A management research or consultancy project, besides being an ideal vehicle

for completing a project or dissertation, is often a part of an academic programme on management.
It is also an extremely useful way for helping the individual manager to develop as an executive and an effective manager in the future.
There are a variety of approaches to developing management competence and expertise, but one of the most useful and long lasting of these approaches is that of self development, of competence and expertise.

Слайд 12

Even if we accepted the idea that the newly qualified MBA

graduate, for example, was honed to a point of perfection with regard to up-to-date and comprehensive managerial knowledge and skills – again perhaps itself a misplaced idea – in today’s rapidly changing environment it would not be long before at least some of this knowledge and skills became outmoded.
Quite simply, organizations change, ideas and knowledge change, and the circumstances also change.

Слайд 13

Over the course of a manager’s working life there is no

doubt that change will not only be inevitable but may often involve seismic changes in ideas and thinking.
Quite simply, then, it is crucial that the effective manager adopts the attitude of an acceptance of the need for continuous professional development over a working life

Слайд 14

Approaches to Professional Development
Once we accept the need for continued professional

development for the manager, then we have to consider how such development can be achieved. There are a number of ways in which this can be accomplished that include:
external training courses/study courses,
internal training,
learning on the job/action learning.
These alternatives for the continuous professional development of managers are not of course mutually exclusive. All three approaches may play a part in the development process. In addition, development may be facilitated in a number of ways by using a number of alternative methods and approaches including:
‘tutoring’ by a tutor or trainer,
learning from others in the organization,
‘shadowing’ in another organization,
self-development activities.

Слайд 15

the following are some of the most commonly found routes to

self-development within organizations:
● mentoring,
● coaching/counselling,
● appraisal,
● internal rotation, attachment and placement,
● external attachments and placements,
● reading,
● joining special projects,
● committee membership,
● discussion groups, working parties, meetings of professional bodies and institutes,
● learning from one’s own job and experience,
● special activities.

Слайд 16

Action Learning
learning by doing things (actions) in real life situations
action learning

offers a particularly useful way of thinking about learning for the professional manager. After all, management takes place in the real world of organizations
the most important aspect of action learning is the notion that an individual’s work and activities undertaken in completing the work as a manager is perhaps the most valuable learning experience possible
We shall see that action research – which
in turn leads to action learning – is an approach to research involving practical
hands-on field research in an organization where the researcher has the objective of solving practical problems in an organization with a view to solving real-world problems

Слайд 17

Although the main thrust of action learning is learning by working

on real-life problems in an organization, another key supporting feature of the concept of action learning is the notion of learning from others.
Action learning, therefore,is often done by joining a small group that meets periodically, and where membersof the group discuss the problems they are working on with others.
These small groups are usually referred to as a set.

Слайд 18

Main Objectives tonight – be able to:
Compare and contrast the different

theoretical stances to the practice of research;
understand the overall management research process;
discuss the different approaches to conducting management research; and
understand the relationship between management research and managementdevelopment and how these are related to the process of management consultancy.

Слайд 19

compare and contrast

the advantages and disadvantages of using management consultants,
discuss the different types, roles and activities of management consultancy approaches,
understand the different models of consultancy roles,
be aware of recent developments and trends in management consultancy,
