Erfolgreiche Beratungsprojekte mit ISO 20700

Successful consulting projects with ISO 20700
Practical guide and application checklists for clients and consultants

(Please note: This title is only available in German!)

Since 2019, DIN EN ISO 20700 has been the standard for management consultancy services. It provides reliable orientation for the tasks and challenges involved in dealing with clients and requirements.

This practical guide interprets the standard and supplements it with valuable practical tips. It helps to ensure the success of consulting projects and to optimize the collaboration between clients and consultants. Characteristics of a good management consultancy and quality standards are presented. Application checklists (also downloadable from the DIN Media Mediathek) enable clients and consultants to quickly check whether all relevant recommendations of ISO 20700 have been taken into account in a specific consulting situation.

The book contains downloadable content from the DIN Media Mediathek. It is easy to understand and clearly structured to ensure a quick introduction to the topic.
 

Consulting expertise and practical application of the standard

DIN EN ISO 20700 is the industry standard for good consulting. However, standards are not easily accessible to everyone due to their technical language. This book explains the contents of DIN EN ISO 20700 and illustrates the requirements of the standard in practical examples. Its good structure and high practical relevance also make the book easy to use. The two main parts of the book build on each other:

• Practical guide
  The individual phases of the standardized consulting project are presented here in chronological order. Readers will learn everything about preparation, contract conclusion, execution, completion and follow-up, with the book also referring to the relevant sections/annexes in the standard
• Checklists
  The checklists make it easier to set up and review the consulting process. They are available for the consultant, consultant and client, and client perspectives.

The book also contains a case study that demonstrates how the guidelines of DIN EN ISO 20700 can be implemented in IT consulting projects.

An index of sources and keywords makes it easier to work with the book and, like the list of further links, allows readers to delve deeper into the subject matter on their own.
