Definition: The development of systems that improve strategic, operational, technological, financial, and organizational processes in order to affect improvements to the products and services a client provides to customers.
General: Consultants help clients change to be more successful. You will work closely with clients in their work environment (engagement/project) to analyze business processes and develop new systems/processes that improve business results. You will not only deliver recommendations on ways to improve, but in many cases, consultants will often implement the recommendations they make. As your career progresses, you will develop valuable industry knowledge that will enable you to significantly impact your clients' businesses.
Client relationships
You will represent your company to your clients. Your
ability to relate, respond, and interact with clients
in order to develop lasting and productive relationships
is important. Poise, confidence, professionalism, trustworthiness,
and crisp communication are key to being a great consultant.
Project management
skills: You
must be able to handle a project from start to finish.
You will define project scope, develop specifications,
analyze resource requirements, establish timelines, manage
budgets, resolve conflicts, work with external vendors
and manage the project to conclusion. Use projects you
managed in the military as proof.
Leadership/teamwork
skills: You
will be a part of a team of consultants working on a client
project/engagement, where each consultant has an area
of knowledge that is key to the success of the project.
You must be able to influence a team of peers where you
do not have any direct authority. Use examples from your
military experience where you influenced people to achieve
difficult goals, especially in a team environment.
Information technology
skills: Consultants
create and implement state-of-the-art information technology
(IT) to support process improvement projects. You must
highlight your education, work experience, and interest/aptitude
to enhance your IT skills (regardless of how developed
they are now). Show your ability to learn and apply new
computer skills to produce enhanced results.
Analytical and problem-solving
skills: Consultants
analyze client systems and processes to create lasting
solutions to business problems. To help your clients transform
their businesses, you must be able to dig into and analyze
data and processes to find likenesses and trends in order
to make improvements. Use specific military examples where
you had to analyze a lot of information to identify and
solve a problem. Quality, process improvement, systems
integration, and business process reengineering concepts
are tools you will use.
Ability to learn:
Consultants are world class learners. Professional development
is a strategic advantage in any consulting firm. You must
be able to discuss your ability and desire to develop
your skills in order to make a larger impact on your clients.
Highlight examples from the military where you taught
yourself a new concept/skill and applied it to impact
at work.
