"Consultant" is an appealing title for many college students and young careerists, but few understand what it really means as a job description. What do consultants actually do? What does a day in the life of a consultant look like? What is the goal of a consultant and how do they fulfill that goal? #consulting #IT #business #Toronto https://j.mp/2CevY8l

"The proudest day of my professional life was when I received feedback for a co-op student that I had mentored. I was proud of receiving the email from her and realizing that I was shaping a future leader." #consulting #IT #business #Toronto https://j.mp/2AyYH7t

Just like an organization oftentimes consultants rely upon their experience and expertise rather than a documented process. Although a consultant may be credible based upon that allow, that does not mean he/she will be able to transfer that knowledge in a clear and concise fashion to other people and other organizations. Having a documented process is the foundation of being a consultant. #consulting #IT #business #Toronto

Each year management consultants in the United States receive more than $2 billion for their services. Much of this money pays for impractical data and poorly implemented recommendations. To reduce this waste, clients need a better understanding of what consulting assignments can accomplish. They need to ask more from such advisers, who in turn must learn to satisfy expanded expectations. #consulting #IT #business #Toronto https://j.mp/3gq4HPk

Sometimes, entrepreneurs get caught up with their rose-colored glasses, thinking that their idea is sustainable. Without consultancy, they jump on the bandwagon of entrepreneurship, only finding themselves bankrupt a few years after. What could be the breakdown? #consulting #IT #business #Toronto https://j.mp/3f5Kq1d

Although consulting is a highly compensated $/HR position, the reality is that it is also very difficult and typically is not incorporated with a company credit card and car. Therefore consultants often find themselves balancing their business with their prospecting to build their book of business. If your consultant can tell you exactly how many clients he/she will manage and it does not seem exorbitant this would not be a concern of mine. With that said understanding where their focus is at is important. #consulting #IT #business #Toronto
