Title: The Concise Guide to Becoming an Independent Consultant by Herman Holtz ISBN: 0-471-31573-7 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Pub. Date: 05 March, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Doesn't Measure Up...
Comment: I agree with the other reviewers: there are many other books that cover the material in more detail and in far fewer pages. I'd recommend Alan Weiss' "Million Dollar Consulting" or Alan's "Getting Started in Consulting." Either of these books should be considered a MUST addition to any consultant's library. Overall grade: D+/C-
Rating: 2
Summary: Not So Concise
Comment: I have to admit that there was some useful information in the book. Especially in setting fees, importance of retainers, the current outlook towards the consulting industry. While Mr. Holtz does have a great amount of knowledge, that can be quickly seen in the text, I find his writing style lacking and even frustrating. Many subjects appear in the book multiple times - a rehashing of subjects he has already discussed. This, and the back and forth references of subject matter was disconcerting. I think that if the duplication of information was removed from the book, the nearly 300 page book would be about 25% smaller.
