By definition, we stand outside of the system we analyze, troubleshoot, or design. Legally, they may be independent contractors (definition below) , but they’re nearly always hired as temporary workers through a third party (like a staffing agency) and they’re paid on a W-2 tax basis. The definitions have become fuzzy and intermingled.

Probably the most common definition out there is that management consultants are like doctors for companies (instead of doctors for people). This is a repost from an answer I wrote a couple of years ago on Quora. I usually fail miserably at explaining this for some reason. This analogy probably works for most cases.
