I found this audio CD fascinating as I have managed many project for a corporation as an employee and also worked with consultants that were brought in specifically for other projects. I was quite aware of the expertise consultants brought to the table and also quite aware that they were not always considered as part of the corporate team. We all looked at these consultants with a wary eye. Casey and Bruce have managed to tackle some of the issue involved when transitioning from an employee to a consultant, and what to expect on the job. One very excellent point was the fact that you will likely be doing 3 projects a year for different organizations, and that relationships with each of the teams is quite limited.

Other excellent points for discussion included the marketing and sales aspect of being a consultant. Although they did not dig into the details, you are certainly directed the right way. If you are considering a career as a Project Management consultant, listen to this audio CD first.
