Does anyone know much about Management Consulting?

[costargh]

Any information would be appreciated.

I will more than likely be going down this path with my career.

i think it has to do with advising business on how to manage themselfs more efficiently (probebly in HR)
possibly helping business adapt to changes, new practices etc

I know what it is, I meant more... a bit more information lol. Thanks anyway. And yeh its not just HR.

I would also like to know more about this - is it usually a standalone role, or hired (e.g.: with the Boston Consulting Group)?

You'd definitely need experience before you get hired (the chicken or the egg problem) as a consultant.

This is just speculation: So it might help to start up some shitty uninnovative business just to show you can make a business succeed, haha - as a credibility indicator.

so start ur own business, give urself the title of management consultant hence giving u experience (on paper at least).....so shifty it just could work lol

Do you think you really need experience? I don't think so Collin. Like any career, many organisations offer graduate entry positions. There is a PDF document i downloaded last week from the ECSS website (google it) that had stuff on management consulting and all the differnt firms and stuff but I cant find it anymore. Try find it on google.


Here is a video from Deloitte, consulting division about WHAT management consulting is

There was also an info night on consulting run by the ECSS last year. I will go to this years. Here is what they had on the website regarding the night.
