What does a consultant do?

As a consultant, you bring structure to complex situations by analyzing processes, identifying bottlenecks, and working with the organization to develop appropriate solutions. These issues often relate to strategy, policy, organization, operations, or change.

Organizations often hire consultants for their specific knowledge and experience. It is also common to work as an external consultant. In that role, you can contribute your independent perspective and provide temporary support on projects for which there isn’t always sufficient internal capacity or expertise available.

• consultant
• policy advisor

Most consulting positions require a degree from a two-year college or a four-year university. Popular fields of study include public administration, business administration, economics, social sciences, and IT, or any other specialized field relevant to the industry.
