Pam Harper is one of only 14 consultants in the world to have completed the inaugural Million Dollar Consulting™ Graduate School held in Naples, Florida in April 2007. Elite consultants representing the U.S., Canada, and Australia attended the program, all of them prior graduates of the Million Dollar Consulting™ College.

“These people represent the finest talent in the profession,” noted Alan Weiss, Ph.D. who conducts the Colleges three times 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 Million Dollar Consulting College and Graduate School entail intense on-site work; challenges in case studies, role plays, and group exercises; interaction with client executives, financial experts, legal experts, and professional image consultants; focus on technology; and innovative approaches to client service and value-based results. The school was founded in 2005 by Alan Weiss, whom the New York Post describes as “one of the most highly respected independent consultants in the country,” and all students are personally mentored by him for over a year. There is no equivalent development in the entire consulting profession.
