A consultant is typically a seasoned professional who brings to the table significant experience, knowledge, skills, and training in their area of expertise.
We are drafted in when a client / business has a pressing issue that they neither have the time nor the capacity to resolve. Exercising their independence and professional judgement, a consultant then does whatever they see fit to deliver a solution that meets the client’s needs.
A consultant is essentially a professional advisor who works as an independent specialist in a specific field. They use their experience, expert knowledge and niche skills to offer professional advice to other people or businesses.
The most valuable consultants have insights and skills across their area of expertise and stay abreast of industry developments. Spending time learning about evolving concepts and theoretical approaches to problems without getting weighed down by the ins and outs of the practical execution.
