Although I have been consulting as a solopreneur for some time now, I found the course very interesting and informative. The model of the head, the heart, and the hands is beneficial as it can help a consultant understand their audience and what approach(s) they may have to take to complete the assignment successfully.

This course was a great introduction to Management Consulting. Although I have been consulting for the past 5 years, I have felt that I have both strengths and weaknesses. I am hoping that by bringing these forward that I will improve, learn and develop into a more rounded and efficient consultant for my clients.

A very good introduction to the specialization. As professional as it can get, the instructor is very cautious to have a lot of consistency in the core message throughout all of the lessons, referencing back, but not sounding repetitive. You can tell he is well prepared and has very good teaching skills

The management consulting specialization is great and worth the time. John summarized the concepts, tools, tips and tricks of consultation elegantly. In addition, he also recommends other books and courses to hone your skills. It is one of the most comprehensive consultation course. Thanks a lot John!

So worth it! A terrific overview of consulting and the skills you need to be successful. I loved the healthcare/medical analogies (E.g. consultancy is like a medical residency) which I will borrow as I interview for healthcare consulting roles! Planning to finish the valuable specialization.

I absolutely love this course. A big THANK YOU to Professor Kim. Thank you for the simplicity of this content. I am not sleepy or drowsy at all when you teach (this is the highest compliment anyone can receive due to the nature of computer based teaching), I am excited for my remaining courses.

This course is a wonderful and easy introduction to consulting. I liked that it was divided up into student, manager, entrepreneur. That being said, I wish there had been more granular and specific methods of analysis shown. Possibly that's being saved for the intermediate course!

I was skeptical at first but really Dr John Kim is really really good at explaining things. Even I don't need to look at his powerpoint, I could just listen to him carefully and once in a while seeing the powerpoint but the power is really in Dr John Kim himself. Thanks a lot!

Amazing course! All the basics about what is consulting and, more specifically, what good consulting is, were explained. Everything is very practical and applicable, also great for discovering what skills you need to develop to be a successful management consultant.

The speaker does a great job breaking down the subject matter by relying on his personal experiences to augment the academic parts of the discussion. The experiences he shares from his own work are gold and this course is certainly worth the time.
