Learn how to navigate working on a team of independent consultants in Consulting 301: Best Practices for Working as a Consulting Team. This course will teach you how to align diverse work styles, establish trust, and communicate effectively within consulting teams. Working as a consulting team is a crucial aspect of independent consulting, yet it often presents challenges that require adept management and collaboration. By the end of the workshop, you’ll be equipped with essential skills for managing conflict, fostering collaboration, and driving success as an infection prevention consultant.
