Did you say management consulting?
Management and organizational consulting involves the intervention of one or more consultants to diagnose issues and propose methods or processes to resolve them, most often within a specific business function.
What are the characteristics of a management consulting assignment?
Management consulting applies to all company departments: Finance, HR, Marketing, Sales, IT, but rarely to the Executive Management level.
Like any consulting activity, management consulting aims to present a methodology, review processes, or propose an action plan. It does not implement this plan operationally, unlike interim management. As a result, assignments are relatively short, typically lasting between 6 and 9 months.
They most often involve company improvement or transformation projects, such as operational excellence, financial management, people management consulting, or innovation topics, particularly in data management. These assignments are driven by objectives set by executive management.
Who is management consulting for?
Management consulting is aimed at all types of companies, from SMEs to large corporations. There are many management and organizational consulting firms, ranging from small and/or specialized firms, such as Altermès, to very large firms with thousands of employees worldwide.
Many recent business school graduates are attracted to management consulting because it offers the opportunity to work on interesting challenges and gain experience more quickly than by starting directly within a company.
