Are you looking for Management Consultants, but do not know where to start? Feel like you are getting little value for their not inconsiderable fees? Or have you ever considered that Consultants are actually incentivised to get you promoted? To find the answer to these questions and more, read on. Like emails and conference calls, Management Consultants are a fact of modern corporate life. There is no major public, private or state-owned company that does not use their services in every corner of the world. Deploying them successfully can create millions of dollars of value and catapult junior managers into the big league; their misuse can bankrupt firms. Since hiring Consultants is not an everyday activity, many managers do not know the tips and tricks to use them effectively and extract the most value. While there are many books outlining consulting methods and how to get into the industry, there are few that provide any kind of guide from a buyer’s perspective. Written by an experienced industry insider this book aims to be that guide. The author is a highly experienced Consultant who has worked at a number of global consulting firms across three continents and in a range of strategy, M&A and full-scale implementation engagements. This has provided the writer with a great view of all services that large ‘consulting supermarkets’ have to offer and enabled the production of this guide to the Industry. The author has a successful consulting career and wants to keep it that way and therefore chooses to remain anonymous.
