What do management consultants do?

Management consultants work with businesses to improve their performance by providing expert advice to solve problems and encourage growth. They work with businesses across a wide range of sectors, including business strategy, finance, HR and marketing. It’s not just private firms – many public institutions use management consulting to improve their practices and efficiency.

In basic terms the role of the consultant is to provide their client with an audit of current procedures, their recommendation for improvement and an action plan for implementation. They can be brought in by a business to advise senior management on a specific project or more broadly on the structure and practices of a firm.

How does a management consulting project work?

As they are usually providing advice on a specific issue, the work of a strategy consultant tends to involve a lot of data analysis. A project will usually go as follows:

· Problem definition – What problem are we trying to solve?

· Approach – How are we going to investigate this problem?

· Data gathering – Find out everything we can about the issue

· Data Analysis – What does our data show?

· Advice – What is the best solution according to our data and expertise?

· Implementation – Enact positive change based on the recommendations
