The Consulting Toolkit

Twelve working instruments, mapped to the method.

Eleven tools ship as spreadsheets with the blank instrument, ready to complete, and a worked example completed end to end against a fictional scenario — so you can see what ‘done’ looks like before you start your own. The twelfth — the Council Operating Pack — ships as four ready-to-complete Word templates for running a Prioritisation Council.
