Tom Long To Teach Course on IT Consulting at DePaul University

 

OAK PARK, ILLINOIS – Tom Long, President of Solid Oak Consulting, has been invited to teach a course on IT Consulting at DePaul University, Chicago.

 

IT Consulting is designed for all IT professionals who are interested in knowing more about consulting as a career. It looks at the consulting industry, the consulting firm, and how consultants work.  The course starts with positioning IT consulting within the larger professional services industry detailing the composition of the IT consulting market.  From there, our attention turns to the trends in IT consulting from technologies to applications.  Compared to other businesses, consulting firms have unique issues and responses that are then detailed.  We  analyze the commonalities and differences  between independent, internal, and conventional consulting.  We then look at the proposal process before an in-depth examination of a hot, new trend before ending on an examination of the career paths available.
