What is a Management or Business Consultant; and What are They Not?
Tuesday, 01 June 2010 00:00 |
Many, even senior managers and directors, do not know what a consultants does. This article explains the 10 key roles, whatever a consultant’s specialism. It can be argued that many consultants and their firms have also lost sight of their role as a business advisor. Many of the larger consultancy firms have widened the scope of their activities into service provision, interim management or suppliers of temporary staff. Often the essential advisory role of the consultant has been lost. There is a risk that the independence of consultants is severely compromised by the need to generate fees for the wider, non consultancy, services and products. So it is not surprising that client managers and directors feel uncertain about the role of business, management and even technical consultants. Add new comment
