March 2016 Introduction to Management Consulting

Problem solving isn’t a thing you do in management consulting; it’s what you do!

What is consulting?

“Consulting is the process by which an individual or firm assists a client to achievea stated outcome. The assistance can come in the form of information,recommendations, or actual hands-on work. A consultant is a specialist within aprofessional area who completes the work necessary to achieve the client’sdesired outcome.”

Elaine Biech (2007), “The Business of Consulting”, Pfeiffer

March 2016 Introduction to Management Consulting

A consultant must be in a position to make an unbiased assessment of any situation.

A consultant’s independence allow him to recommend frankly and objectively what the client organization needs to.

Milan Kubr (2002), “Management Consulting – A Guide to the Profession”, International Labour Organization

Technical Independence

• The consultant is in a position to formulate a technical opinion and provide advice independently of what the client believes, or wishes to hear.

Financial Independence

• The consultant has no financial interest in the course of action taken by the client.

Political Independence:

• Neither the client organization’s management nor its employees can influence the consultant using political power and connections.

Emotional Independence:

• The consultant preserves personal detachment and objectivity, irrespective of empathy, friendship, emotional affinities and other personal pressures.

New financial structures have developed and becomeindispensable for continued competitivity, leveragingcapital markets away from the traditionalpartnerships.

Business strategy consulting is done at very highlevel in the organisation, typically the Board and theCEO. Business strategy consulting is tailor-madethinking. What works for one company will notnecessarily work for the other, even in the sameindustry. (Bain.com)

Trends in Consulting. Interview with Fiona Czerniawska.

Czerniawska is the Director of the Think Tank for the Management Consultancies Association (MCA), where she is responsible for research on trends in consulting.

http://managementconsultingnews.com/interview-fiona-czerniawska2/

“Clients may feel that no one firm can handle either the scale or complexity of theirlarge projects, and they may want a partnership with five or six firms. Or clients maycut projects down into small pieces that they give to specialist firms.”

“The second trend is about pricing strategies. One question that needs to beaddressed is how much can a consulting firm shift the payment a client owes themout over a period of years, either amortizing it or simply deferring payments? Whendo we get to the point that consulting firms are acting as banks? They may end upwith the equivalent of a bank’s bad debts.”

“The third item on the agenda is offshoring. The issue is not so much about doing work in different parts of the world or high-cost economies versus low-cost economies, but about the balance of costs firms should have going forward. How many high-paid people do you need and how many less expensive people? Do they have to be in the same firm? If not, how do you join them together?”

Significant drivers for consulting services.

Top Global Game-Changers™ Report, Association of Management Consulting Firms, 2015

Economies that were once prosperous, such as Greece and Spain, must transform. They need the type of help that consulting firms can provide. However, at this moment they may not have much money to invest in that type of assistance.

Although the pace of economic growth in China is slowing, opportunities still abound. The “new normal” in China

focuses on quality of life for Chinese

citizens, as well as reduced pollution and government

debt. Outlined areas are alternative energy, green

technology, services and public-private

partnerships.

The tensions between Russia and

Ukraine have created uncertainty in the region. The

business environment in

Russia is not friendly, and there is a significant impact on business, supply chains, and other countries in the region. Russia is

aligning more closely with China

and the two countries are

collaborating on an agricultural fund.

Last years, in addition to the standard BRIC countries, the

“MINT” markets (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey)

were also top of mind when

discussing emerging markets.

Over the next three decades, the African

economy is expected to grow by

50%. East Africa looks particularly

attractive for business as this area

has 180 million people, is English speaking, and the countries are well

integrated.

It is expected considerable growth

in the Middle East and North Africa,

especially in Algeria and Kenya. In

emerging markets, there will be

business opportunities in oil and gas, utilities, and health care.

The Asian Infrastructure Bank

is focused on building

infrastructure in several Southeast

Asian countries (Malaysia, Indonesia,

Cambodia). There will be major

economic upside when these projects

are completed.

India has an educated populace,

but limited infrastructure.

Indonesia has strong political ties in the region, but lacks infrastructure.

Singapore is the Switzerland of Asia,

as it is very advanced in terms of its economy and

infrastructure.

“Our recruitment process is just as much an opportunity for you to find out about us as it is for us to assess you. “

Deloitte’s Consulting strategy and operations practice works with senior executives to help them solve their toughest and most complex problems by bringing an approach to executable strategy that combines deep industry knowledge, rigorous analysis, and insight to enable confident action.

Initial screening

When you submit your online application, it will be given directly to the correct recruitment team member. They will then assess your experience to see how well it matches the job description (which will also have been hosted on the website for you to see when you applied). The more information you provide to demonstrate a good match the better.

Testing For some roles we may require you to complete either psychometric or skills based tests. Or we may ask you to consider a case study and give us your views on how you would tackle a client’s business problems.

Interview The more senior the role you are applying for the more interviews you can expect to attend. Our interviews are competency based and are conducted by a trained interviewer. This will be a recruiter or manager depending on the role. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions that matter to you.

Final assessment

The final stage will be a more in depth discussion of your experience. You may also be asked to make a presentation or take part in a group discussion. This will be with key people and often the lead partner from the team you will work for if you are successful.

The McKinsey Way. Like any strong organization, the Firm has a powerful corporate culture based on shared values and common experiences.

The Firm has its own jargon too. It is full of acronyms: EM, ED, DCS, ITP, ELT, BPR, and so forth. McKinsey-ites call their assignments or projects “engagements.”

MECE stands for “mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive” and it is a sine qua nonof the problem-solving process at McKinsey. MECE gets pounded into every newassociate’s head from the moment of entering the Firm.

MECE structures your thinking with maximum clarity (hence minimum confusion)and maximum completeness. MECE starts at the top level of your solution—the listof issues making up the problem you have to solve.

March 2016 Introduction to Management Consulting

Edwin Booz was a visionary who, at the beginning of World War I, established a new industry called management consulting.

On July 31, 2008, the company spun off the commercial and international portion of the company. BoozAllen Hamilton Holding Corporation was incorporated in Delaware to serve as the top-level holdingcompany for the consolidated Booz Allen Hamilton government consulting business.

Edwin Booz said it best: Start with character… and fear not the future. Here’s to another 100 years.

The total revenue of publicly traded Booz Allen Hamilton, which still relies on the federal governmentfor the vast majority of its revenue, has declined with federal cutbacks and sequestration. Revenuedropped from $5.86 billion in 2012 to $5.47 billion in fiscal 2014.

Today we serve substantially all of the cabinet-level departments of the U.S. federalgovernment. We have a highly diverse client base and portfolio of contracts.

During fiscal year 2014, 79% of our revenue was derived from more than 4,400 task ordersunder Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract vehicles.

During each of the last three fiscal years, no single contract accounted for more than 10% ofour revenue, and no single task order under any contract accounted for more than 2.3% of ourrevenue.

We have been investing in an expansion strategy beyond the U.S. federal government market intocommercial and international markets. Internationally, we are focused on the Middle East and NorthAfrica region, where we see strong demand for our services
