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
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.
