  <description><![CDATA[During 15 years as a business consultant, Mick Cope developed a structured yet flexible framework for action that he believes will benefit others likewise &quot;employed to help solve a problem for someone else.&quot; In <em>The Seven Cs of Consulting</em>, he lays it out in a way that should prove useful to beginners as well as the more experienced. Everything is oriented toward gaining control of a project from beginning to end while delivering consistent results that can be comparatively measured and continually advanced. Focusing on method, not people, the book spans the entire event from &quot;meeting the client to closing the contract and saying goodbye.&quot; Its primary themes are grouped under alliteratively dubbed and clearly defined taglines like Clarify, Create, Change, and Continue. In the Client section, for example, it addresses orientation (when &quot;how they make sense of the world&quot; must be assessed and processed) through contract negotiation (which, hopefully, leaves everyone &quot;genuinely happy&quot;).  Additionally, the Confirm section (for substantiating &quot;that what was wanted has actually been delivered&quot;), the Close section (for ensuring &quot;that the change finishes with style and grace&quot;), and the others all include step-by-step recommendations that can easily be adapted to different situations. --<em>Howard Rothman</em> ]]></description>
