In carrying out a consulting assignment a choice has to be made by the client between process consulting approach and a purely technical strategic planning method (content consulting). In the latter approach consultants would entirely undertake the assignment by conducting research, analysing the problem at hand and recommending solutions to the problems with minimum participation of the client’s management and staff. These recommendations would then be tabled to the client for implementation. In process consulting the role of consultants would be to co-ordinate and facilitate the diagnostic and intervention processes to be undertaken by the client. The consultants would however, assist in the collection of all relevant information and assist in all analyses, interpretation and formulation of solutions to the problems at hand. In many cases analyses and formulations by consultants would be presented to the client as proposals for its consideration, debate and agreement before they are incorporated into the recommended course of action. In other words process consulting becomes a joint effort of consultant and the client.

TPSC’S offers both process and contents consulting options.
