Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

3,370 HR consulting tools in one course: 2,395 ready-to-use files, templates, checklists and scripts, 128 services and apps shown on screen, plus 847 models and methods.

Open a lecture, take the tool, use it in this week's audit, client meeting or proposal.

Why HR consulting projects stall

A client does not pay for knowledge. A client pays for a diagnosis they trust and a plan they can carry out. Most new consultants know HR well and still lose weeks building every deliverable from scratch: the audit checklist, the interview guide, the report, the proposal, the pricing. The project drags, the margin disappears, and the next client is harder to win without a clear package to show.

What changes after this course

You arrive with the method already packaged. An audit you can start on day one. Interview and survey questions for each HR area. A report structure the client recognises as professional. A strategy and action plan template. A proposal, a price and a contract outline. You spend your time on the client's problem instead of on formatting documents.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

I have approached HR improvement by examining how a process works and making the intended process explicit. At the STB television channel, I was invited to improve recruitment and onboarding. I spent time understanding what was happening and where I could make improvements. I then drew the recruitment process as I thought it should work and agreed it with all parties; the situation improved. That experience informs the diagnosis and process design tools in this course.
