This is a question that you will inevitably receive when interviewing with a consulting firm. It provides you with an excellent way to demonstrate your interest in the firm, how it fits with your goals, and show that you’ve done your homework. Your goal should be to stand out from other applicants – this is done by being specific about the firm and the role that you are targeting, and giving a response that isn’t generic enough to be applicable to multiple firms.

We all like to think we use our value-based integrity to decide and act. And I bet you've seen people who don't appear to use that kind of integrity. If you talk to them, they say they intend to do the right thing. However, they don't always act according to their intentions. Here's an example I see all too often. A senior manager, SM, receives an estimate the SM doesn't like.

When one thinks of management consultants, one inevitably thinks of highly efficient workers. This is because an efficient way of working is essential as a management consultant.

Marketing is very simple. At its essence, marketing is communicating the value of whatever it is you’re offering.

A whole new set of officers had come and gone for the local chapter of a national organization. The only one I knew from before is the current chapter president.
