Together with Harvard Business Publishing (HBP) we have developed a range of training programmes devised specifically for professional service firms (PSFs). They are specific for PSFs because we have adapted the content to include:
- Real cases and war stories from PSFs
- Research and best practice examples from the professional services industry
- Client perspectives, research and anecdotal evidence
- Insight from our consulting experience of working with over 100 PSFs
- Methodologies and frameworks that have proven applicability to PSFs unlike many of the generic strategy and marketing methodologies that have may have limited relevance
In combination with John Clements Consultants and HBP, we now offer a range of training services and programmes in Asia for the professional services sector. HBP, Harvard Corporate Learning (which are extensions of Harvard Business School), and SRC have linked up to extend the current suite of learning materials (on and off line) offered by HBP and the Harvard Manage Mentor (HMM) system (which is an online suite of portals, modules, cases and other learning resources, click here for more on HBP corporate learning and HMM) specifically for PSFs in Asia.
This means that we can draw on the extensive resources of HBS, HBP and HMM (such as case readings, faculty, learning portals etc) and develop content and training programmes that are specifically relevant for professional service firms (PSFs). In line with the overall consulting work of SRC, the training content and methodologies are intended to drive the competitiveness of the firm and individuals involved.
