MANAGEMENT CONSULTED
About this episode

Send us a text

Many people who want to “become a management consultant” don’t realize that there are many different types of consulting.

It’s sad when we run into people who apply for one type of consulting (i.e., tech) thinking that it’s strategy consulting only to later realize how different they are.

To help you avoid a painful discovery like this, today we’ll break down the differences between three of the most common types of consulting - strategy, implementation, and tech.
