INFOSYS 290: Effective Communication and Career Management (the Secrets of Consulting)

 

Spring 2005
Fall 2003


Course Description

Two hours per week. "Consulting" is both a profession and an attitude toward effective communication and career management. We'll discuss and practice practical skills like making yourself marketable, identifying prospective projects and clients, proposing and selling "doable" projects, managing your managers and your clients, and getting credit (and avoiding blame) for project outcomes. More general skills will also be practiced, including effective written and oral communications.
