The major responsibility of a collaborative consultant, in The Asma Path™, is to work closely with myself (Mark) in developing aspects of the path.

 The “Collaborative” Consultant

 

·  Where there is an interdependent relationship and control of the project is shared. Management works hand in hand with the consultant.

 

·  Because the success of the project is deeply linked to the client’s ability to contribute and influence the project, risks and benefits should also be shared. This means that a lower day rate may be more appropriate with higher performance based element to the consultancy fees.

 

 


 

 

 

The  Collaborative Consulting Group is comprised of an affiliation of healthcare not for profit, and association professionals who offer their expertise in strategic planning, program management and development, marketing and


 

communication services, web and graphic design, strategic education and event planning, and fundraising.

 

 


 

Working with  Collaborative Consulting is likely different from other consulting experiences you may have had, and for the right situations and projects, we believe it is better. In our world, the relationship we have with our clients is a genuine collaboration, a sharing of ideas, effort, and work products that mutually provide value and elevates the shared results, experience, and knowledge for both parties. We pride ourselves on being collaborative with our clients, and while it is our namesake, the true demonstration of this is experienced in every engagement we work on.

 

 


 

Founded and managed by Elise Yanker,  Collaborative  Consulting is an independent consulting and coaching enterprise geared towards optimizing human performance. Creative, energized and objective, the work is driven towards individuals, teams, or large, thriving organizations looking to maximize their potential.

 

 


 

When I work with you and your organization,  I work with you.

 

I have three goals:

 

·         To establish a collaborative consulting relationship

 

·         To help you to solve problems so they stay solved

 

·         To give attention both to your business problem
and to our relationship


 

 


 

 Collaborative Consulting

 

From its founding in 1984, Daniel Research Group has collaborated with other consultants and market research firms in order to assemble the most knowledgeable and experienced teams working with the best data available for our clients. We partner with individuals and organizations that are more focused on their craft than on the managerial tasks which hierarchical organizations demand. Our consultants have made the choice to invest in their own vision and approaches that meet customer needs rather then adopt practices that are optimized for corporate goals. The emergence of Web-based business networking has made this approach even more efficient.

 

 


 

… in a collaborative consultation model, it is the sharing and transferring of knowledge and information between and among all team members that enables the group to determine and carry out a more comprehensive plan. Each person in the group, or on the team is interdependent on the expertise and perspective of the other.
