How to Get the Most Out of Your Consultant: A Hard-Hitting Guide to Maximizing Value Without Losing Your Sanity (or Your Budget)

🔥 A No-Nonsense, Entertaining Guide to Hiring, Managing, and (If Necessary) Firing Consultants Without Wasting a Fortune 🔥

Hiring a consultant should make your life easier—not drain your budget and leave you with a 100-slide PowerPoint deck full of buzzwords.

Yet, time and time again, companies throw millions of dollars at consulting firms, only to walk away wondering:
đź’¸ What exactly did we pay for?
đź’¸ Why did this take six months?
💸 Do we really need another “stakeholder alignment workshop”?

In How to Get the Most Out of Your Consultant, veteran program manager and consultant Don Palmer cuts through the corporate nonsense to deliver a brutally honest, highly practical, and often hilarious guide to working with consultants. Whether you’re an executive, business leader, or just someone who has ever questioned a mysteriously high consulting invoice, this book will teach you:

âś… How to hire the right consultant (and avoid the wrong ones).
✅ How to structure your engagement so you actually get results—not just recommendations.
✅ How to prevent “scope creep” before your budget gets hijacked.
âś… How to hold consultants accountable with real progress reports (instead of vague corporate jargon).
✅ When to cut ties and run—before your consultant becomes a permanent fixture in your office.

Packed with real-world strategies, cynical wisdom from 25+ years in the industry, and a dose of humor, this is the book every executive wishes they had before signing their last consulting contract.
