    2
    Nature and Purpose of Management Consulting

    • What is management consulting?

    Two basic approaches:

     A Broad Functional View

     A Special Professional Service

    3
    Nature and Purpose of Management Consulting

    A Broad Functional View of Consulting

     Consultants are helpers, enablers, and assume that such


    help can be provided by people in various position.

     A manager can act as a consultant if he or she gives advice


    and help to a fellow manager…

     … or even to subordinates rather than directing and issuing


    orders to them

    4
    Nature and Purpose of Management Consulting

    A Broad Functional View of Consulting

     “… any form of providing help on the content, process, or


    structure of a task or series of tasks, where the consultant is
    not actually responsible for doing the task itself but is
    helping those who are.” – Fritz Steele

     “You are consulting any time you are trying to change or


    improve a situation but have no direct control over the
    implementation…”

     “…Most people in staff roles in organizations are really


    consultants even if they don’t officially call themselves
    consultants.” – Peter Block
    5
    Nature and Purpose of Management Consulting

    A Special Professional Service

     An advisory service contracted for and provided to


    organizations by specially trained and qualified persons

     who assist, in an objective and independent manner, the


    client organization to identify management problems,
    analyze such problems, recommend solutions,

     and help, when requested, implementing the solutions.

    6
    Broad Functional View vs Professional Service

     Two approaches are complementary rather than conflicting

     Hence, management consulting can be view either as a


     Professional service or
     A method of providing practical advice and help

     To improve
     management & business practices
     Individual & organizational performance

     Transferring to clients (value added) knowledge required for


    managing and operating businesses and other organizations
