Extract Value from Consultants: How to Hire, Control and Fire Them by Gordon Perchthold & Jenny Sutton spills the beans on how to extract the maximum return from employing consultants. A consultancy is commissioned to provide expert assistance. The consultancy seeks to maximize its charges for its involvement. Without an understanding of how they do this by fair means and foul the client can be left with an expensive headache. --Andrew May FCMI, Chartered Management Institute Book Review

Most large companies have engaged consultants at some time, usually to provide expertise or insight not available from within. Sometimes, the exercise is successful; sometimes, the hiring executive feels as if they have been tricked into paying huge fees for no discernable end. In this helpful book. Perchthold and Sutton (themselves successful consultants) emphasize that using consultants requires research and attention. --In the Black Digital, May 2010
