Strategic Escalation? Or just delegating upwards?

In this episode, we delve into upward delegation, a crucial yet often overlooked skill in the consulting realm. We explore the methodologies and rationale behind seeking guidance and support from senior colleagues or subject matter experts, emphasizing the necessity of this practice for effective project execution and successful outcomes. Along the way, we dissect the common pitfalls associated with this form of delegation, offering insights on how to navigate these challenges to foster a more collaborative and efficient work environment. Mastering this skill not only augments individual consultant success but also contributes to the overall effectiveness of consulting teams.

Consulting for Humans is all about the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of a life in consulting. Each week, Ian and Mike shine a light on a new topic, bringing insights from decades of experience in consulting to business clients. We'll be examining the ideas, old and new, that underpin what makes consultants happy and successful.

We think the job gets easier, the more human you are! So it’s our mission to add just a little more humanity to the lives of consultants, and to bring some of the skills and perspectives of consulting to human lives, too.

If you’re a consultant who’s trying to be human, or a human who’s trying to be a consultant, we think you’re our kind of person!
