| 1 | +# Management Consulting Plugin |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +A management consulting plugin primarily designed for [Cowork](https://claude.com/product/cowork), Anthropic's agentic desktop application — though it also works in Claude Code. Covers the full engagement lifecycle from problem definition through implementation and closeout. Helps with hypothesis-driven analysis, business cases, client deliverables, change management, and project governance. Works with any consulting team — standalone with your input, supercharged when you connect your project tracker, knowledge base, and other tools. |

| 33 | +## Example Workflows |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +### Scoping a new engagement |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Start with the problem. Describe the client situation and what they're asking for: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | +A mid-market SaaS company is losing enterprise deals to a competitor. |
| 41 | +They want to understand why and what to do about it. |
| 42 | +Help me structure the engagement. |
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The `strategic-analysis` skill kicks in to build an issue tree and hypotheses. `engagement-setup` helps plan the discovery phase and stakeholder mapping. `proposal-development` can then turn that into a scoped SOW with workstreams, timeline, and pricing. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Building a strategic recommendation |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +You've done the analysis and need to pull it together: |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | +We've completed our market analysis for the client's expansion into Southeast Asia. |
| 53 | +Here are our findings: [paste or upload data]. |
| 54 | +Help me build the recommendation deck. |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +`strategic-analysis` structures the analysis (market attractiveness, competitive positioning). `financial-modeling` builds the business case with scenarios. `client-deliverables` shapes the storyline, slide structure, and detailed appendix. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +### Running a transformation programme |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +The client has approved the strategy and you're into implementation: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +``` |
| 64 | +We're restructuring the client's supply chain operations across 3 regions. |
| 65 | +12-month programme, 4 workstreams, steering committee meets monthly. |
| 66 | +Help me set up the governance and tracking. |
| 67 | +``` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +`project-governance` builds the RACI, stage gates, and reporting cadence. `change-management` maps stakeholder impact and resistance risks. `implementation-planning` lays out the roadmap with dependencies. `workshop-facilitation` helps design the kickoff sessions with regional teams. |
