Research
and
Consulting
As an independent consultant, Bob Tomasko specializes in organization effectiveness. His work involves:
Researching management practices to help his clients benchmark their organizations against the world's best.
Reviewing and critiquing plans for organization change, helping develop alternatives, and advising on future courses of action. This advice is based upon research he conducts, and his over 25 years experience in management consulting.
Presenting and teaching, through case studies and interactive exercises, the material in his books. Sessions like these, with groups of top executives and managers throughout a business, help lay the groundwork for major organization change.
For a working definition of organization, see this excerpt from his book Go For Growth.
Increasingly his projects involve advice-giving, rather than traditional consulting. What's the difference?
