In the TechRepublic gallery 19 books for an IT consultant’s library, we feature reading recommendations from contributors Rick Freedman and Erik Eckel. The texts cover how to establish your brand, acquire clients, migrate to agile project management, and much more. Some of the titles on the list may surprise you because they are not specific to IT consultants; Rework and How Doctors Think are two examples.
Here is the list of the 19 titles featured in the gallery:
1. Managing the Professional Service Firm
4. The Consultant’s Legal Guide
5. How to Establish a Unique Brand in the Consulting Profession
13. Rework
16. Information Technology Project Management
17. Radical Project Management
19. Software Project Survival Guide
For more reading recommendations (including some non IT-related material), check out the posts 10 books every IT pro should read and 10 security books for the future and the gallery 75 must-read geek books.
