Dr. Cherry, a seasoned advisor with extensive senior management and academic experience, has partnered with Appleton Greene to launch the "Professional Services Advisor" program. This comprehensive corporate training initiative is specifically tailored to address the unique challenges faced by professional services firms, equipping participants with the skills and tools necessary to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.
Drawing from his extensive background, which includes senior roles across multinational corporations, listed and private companies, and not-for-profits, Dr. Cherry brings strategic and commercial expertise to this program. His proven track record in driving transformational change, growing businesses, and developing strategic solutions globally has shaped the program’s practical approach.
"We’re not just equipping firms with tools; we’re shaping the next generation of trusted advisors," Dr. Cherry explains. "This program emphasizes trust, communication, leadership, and client development to ensure a sustainable path to growth."
The Professional Services Advisor program has been developed over more than twenty years of collaboration with professional services firms, both as referral partners and as clients, offering a deep understanding of their specific challenges. It is further informed by Dr. Cherry’s doctoral research into trust within the professional services context, ensuring that the training aligns with industry realities.
Professional services encompass a broad range of specialized industries that provide professional, scientific, and technical activities primarily to other businesses or organizations. These sectors include engineering consulting, management consulting, legal and accounting services, scientific and environmental research, architectural and surveying services, advertising and market research, among others. The program is designed to meet the needs of these organizations by offering targeted solutions in resource management, staff retention, market positioning, and client acquisition.
The program spans 12 modules over the course of a year, making it suitable for both aspiring and experienced leaders in specialized sectors. Key modules such as Services Trust, Effective Leadership, and Market Positioning help firms refine their services, build brand presence, and expand advisory offerings. The training also explores the adoption of emerging technologies, guiding firms in leveraging AI, data analytics, and cloud solutions to optimize operations.
Deloitte Digital’s 2023 study underscores the importance of fostering trust, growth opportunities, and employee well-being in staff retention strategies. The Professional Services Advisor program integrates these elements, enhancing both employee and client engagement. By focusing on trust-building, communication, and leadership development, the program ensures that participants are well-equipped to lead their firms toward sustainable growth.
Dr. Cherry’s expertise in strategic advisory and change management is evident throughout the program, providing participants with a holistic understanding of professional services growth.
