High-Performance Consulting Skills
The Internal Consultant’s Guide to Value-added Performance
Mark Thomas
To copy Thomas’ phrase, this book is all about moving from a “colleague to client” perspective and it delivers a proven approach. It is a manual of stimulating and invaluable skills that all support functions who are desperately seeking to deal with the pressures of outsourcing and the “value-added” questions can use on a daily basis. IT, HR and Finance professionals can all benefit from his real life and practical approach. I thoroughly recommend it.

If you want a book that you can use on an almost daily basis then this is it. Whether you work in information technology, finance, HR or indeed any corporate advisory role the skills outlined in this book can increase your influence and impact from the first reading. Written in the pragmatic style and approach that is characteristic of his consulting work Thomas has produced a real guide to new frontier of internal consulting.

A highly recommended addition to defining and developing the
internal consultant’s role. Mark Thomas offers a clear operating mandate
for the change agents of today’s organisation. This book will appeal to
all kinds of internal specialists as it is packed with practical ideas
and approaches.
Pieter Allers, Director, Linkage International
Thomas has made an excellent and practical contribution to shaping one of the key roles of the future organisation – the internal consultant. It could even be argued that Thomas is describing the future role of all managers. It is no longer about exercising power through hierarchy but rather influence and impact through competence. He sets out a clear and practical roadmap – a job well done that will help many to make the exciting transition.
