INTRODUCTION
Consultancy is basically an area where people possess marketable talent, analytical ability,
experience and the communication skills and also, they can operate either as a part of larger
consultancy environment or a sole professional (Bahr and et.al., 2017). The report will mainly
highlight the experience in which reflective analysis of a project is done and the skills developed
and enhance during the project. It will also focus on the things which were not known before the
project and were known after the same. It will also shed light on the extent of confidence
enhanced which can be used in the future career. A plan will be made by doing the analysis of all
the achievements.
TASK ONE
Reflection and Evaluation
 As a result of the project, I got many opportunities to develop the skills which I didn’t
have and to enhance the skills which I already had. I was able to enhance my problem-
solving skills as during the project many problems came which I realised I was unable to
solve them. But the project created the need to solve certain problems in order to obtain
the desired results. I analysed the problem carefully and then I researched a lot about its
causes which was followed by looking for possible solutions or strategies and then finally
made decision to solve the problems using those strategies (Busso and et.al., 2017). Also,
I was able to enhance my communication skills as I needed to talk to so many people
regarding the completion of the project. The project gave me the opportunity to interact
with the people with whom I never have imagined to communicate. After some days of
the project, I was able to communicate with all the people effectively as they helped me
in achieving the challenges of the project. Furthermore, I enhanced my time-management
skills as I was never punctual before, but the project taught me the importance of time
and the ways in which every task can be completed in the timeframe or the deadline. So,
this is how, I was able to enhance my problem-solving, communication and time-
management skills.
 At the starting of the process, I was not much sincere towards the tasks and its
implementation, but I could analyse that after the completion of the project I developed
myself as a sincere and punctual individual who is very serious about every tasks and job
to be completed and I could complete all the tasks given to me in the decided deadline.
