About this course
Managers often come to HR with a solution already in mind: a training course, a restructure, a new policy. The best HR people pause, ask better questions and find the real problem first. This course gives you a repeatable consulting method you can use in any HR role, from the first conversation to the final review, and lots of practice running it with live role plays.
The four sessions cover entry and contracting, diagnosis, options and recommendations and delivery and review. Learners receive a consulting conversation guide, a one-page contracting canvas and live role plays with feedback, and a certificate for 10 CPD hours.
It is designed for HR business partners and generalists, centre of excellence specialists, internal consultants and OD practitioners and anyone who wants HR advice to be taken seriously.
