What Do Management Consultants Do? – Duties and Responsibilities

Sep 10, 2019 · 3 minutes to read

A business likely has its own management who are very familiar with its operations, financials, limitations, and staff. So why would they hire you?

As a management consultant, you are responsible for addressing the problems that are preventing a business from achieving its full potential.

Often, the people inside the business struggle to see things objectively. An outsider like you, with the skills to identify and resolve problems, can pinpoint issues that the firm’s top management may never be able to spot.

Below are some management consultant niches and their corresponding duties and responsibilities.

Project Management Consultant

You will be called in when a client believes that their workflow or processes can be improved upon. You will identify inefficiencies and propose solutions that can improve the workflow.

Product Management Consultant

You are responsible for assessing the product(s) that the client’s business sells. Market research, product research and advertising are also part of your portfolio.

Business Management Consultant

A more general Management Consultant role, here you review the business, assess the deficiencies and offer solutions that will enable the betterment of the business process, as a whole.

Risk Management Consultant

Every business faces risk – financial, technological, and general business environment. As a consultant, you assess the different kinds of risk the firm faces and help mitigate them.

Change Management Consultant

You figure out where changes need to be made within the firm, and in what manner, clearly detail the requirements that need to be implemented and then guide the firm through the implementation, keeping in mind how they will impact the overall functioning of the firm.

Enterprise Content Management Consultant

You are tasked with carrying out discovery sessions with the client, identifying ECM/ BPM solutions and help the firm implement them.  You are responsible for assessing business requirements and coming up with solution designs to address those.

Property Management Consultant

You have to interact with various parties involved in the property-related operations, laying out specific plans to achieve desired outcomes and working with various professionals to achieve those.

Human Resources Management Consultant

You advise the management on ideal HR policies and procedures, develop a framework for the same and then also help the firm implement these or assess the existing framework and advice on how it can be improved for better productivity.

International Management Consultants

You help the client establish a foothold in global markets, achieve goals there by means of assessing if they are geared for such expansion and by proposing viable solutions if they are not.

Protecting your management consulting business

Addressing the risks that your consulting business faces is also critical when you set up your firm. It is important for you to consider investing in Professional Liability insurance for management consultants that can protect you against negligence, omissions or error in judgment on your part.

The bigger your clients, the larger the dollar value of the projects, the more imperative it is for you to have adequate management consultants insurance to protect your business from legal claims.

As with any insurance, coverage will be subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions contained in the policy wording. The information contained on this guide is general only and should not be relied upon as advice. The number of quotes provided varies between products, occupations and other underwriting factors determined by the insurers.
