What does a Business
Consultant do?
Business Consultants typically work for corporations on a contractual or permanent basis to offer
expertise and encouragement for their business goals. They use their expertise working in business or a
particular industry to strategize about short- and long-term company goals and methods for success.
Their job is to help companies to obtain loans or funding for financial stability, identify areas for
improved communication and procedures and review market data to determine new areas for company
growth. They may also work to establish more effective onboarding and training methods to help their
clients obtain top-tier talent for their departments

Problem-solving consultation consists of four stages: problem identification, problem analysis,

and an assessment-informed interven- tion plan is developed, implemented, and evaluated.
Solving Problems
A management consultant could be asked his or her opinion on which financial policies to adopt or what
the most efficient internal communications policy or internal succession strategy would be. No matter
the question or challenge, a management consultant is obligated to ask whether the question posed is
the one that needs to be solved most urgently.
In many cases, the client will need help figuring out what its real issues are. Some people even argue
that if an executive can figure out what the real root of a company problems is, they don’t need a

identify the problem and put it in context.
Diagnosing Problems
To make an accurate diagnosis of the situation, the management consultant might need to redefine the
problem. A large percentage of the value management consultants offer companies lies in their ability to
diagnose a problem accurately. That being said, the process of forming an accurate diagnosis can often
place strain on the relationship between a management consultant and the client. This is because

Making Recommendations
The management consultant will typically conclude an investigation by giving an oral presentation or
submitting a written report detailing what he or she has learned. This report will include detailed
recommendations as to what the client should do next. These reports should present the relevant
information clearly and provide a detailed analysis. This way, the recommendations will be convincing,
and the people receiving the report will understand why these matters are so important. Basically, the
consultant needs to recommend a course of action. It is then up to the client to decide whether to
follow this plan.
