By: Jeff Kavanaugh

Narrated by: Mike Lenz

How do you become a world-class consultant?

This is the question on the minds of thousands of young consultants as they graduate from the classrooms of the world's business schools to the offices of top consulting firms. Yet, few of them have been formally trained on the concepts that elevate consultants to the top of their field.

Drawing on his experience as a senior partner at a multi-billion dollar consulting firm and adjunct professor at the University of Texas at Dallas MBA program, Jeff Kavanaugh is ready to share the tools of the trade for young professionals to quickly scale the consulting learning curve.

Pulling together the best content from his own experience, as well as other world-class consulting leaders and industry professionals he has worked with, Kavanaugh has distilled the lessons into the key skills that separate the best from the rest.

Excellent Primer on Communication, Learnability, Frameworks, and Design Thinking!

Excellent book! The book is broken down into three parts. The first part being learn ability which explains the process of learning. The second part covers foundational competencies such as critical, thinking, oral and written communication and framework. And last, the third part covers, evolutionary competencies such as agile analytics and data visualization. This book should be read by all young, aspiring and transitional professionals alike. There is something here in this book for everyone. I especially enjoyed the chapters on critical thinking Productivity and becoming an agile.
