Management Consultant
Management consultants study the procedures and systems
used in an organisation to assess how individuals and the
organisation as a whole can best operate.
Management consultants may perform the following tasks:
- gather information relating to the function of each area
within an organisation and the specific duties undertaken by
each individual, by talking with managers or supervisors and
interviewing other staff
- assess the types of tasks undertaken in each section,
the methods or systems used, length of time taken for an
individual to complete a task and any problems involved in
undertaking the task
- consult internal training manuals, files and job
descriptions to obtain additional information
- study data such as statistical records, reports and
organisational charts
- identify problem areas and find solutions by considering
alternatives, taking into account the benefits and costs of
any recommendations
- write detailed reports and provide statistical evidence
to support their conclusions
- assist in the implementation of new systems
- talk to experts in other fields when introducing new
equipment such as computers.
Management consultancy work may sometimes be carried out by
people who are employed in another capacity, such as
engineers, personnel workers, technicians, computer
programmers or systems analysts.
Management consultants usually work indoors in offices.
When assessing an organisation's systems, they may have to
work at that organisation's premises.
