Alan Weiss, Ph.D., who runs the Million Dollar Consulting™ College three times a year, has announced the graduating class of the first-ever Graduate School, which took place in April in Naples, FL.

“These people represent the finest talent in the profession,” noted Alan Weiss, Ph.D. who conducts the Colleges three time a year. “They are the best of the best in terms of methodology, integrity, client satisfaction, and contributions to the profession. And they are highly innovative, as attested by their enrolling in the first graduate school of its kind.”

The Graduate School and the preceding Consulting College are attended by elite consultants from around the world. Thus far, slightly over 100 people have attended representing nine countries since the school’s inception in 2005. Participants are required to do extensive preparatory work and then are exposed to case studies, role plays, thought leaders, client decision makers, and scores of other challenges in the consulting profession. The participants are among the top independent consultants in the world, and the Graduate School is the top level of achievement.

Alan Weiss, author of Million Dollar Consulting (McGraw-Hill) and cited by The New York Post as “one of the most highly respected independent consultants in the country,” initiated the College in 2005. “I wanted to create a standard, powerful, challenging developmental experience for the top people in the field,” he said, “because this type of intensive professional development does not otherwise exist for the leaders in our profession.”
