What would your definition of a management consultant be?

[RainyDay]

I think that this is one of the problems with consultants. Where, if you're an IT consultant do you get the knowledge/skills/experience to become a management consultant?

There's no way they should be interchangeable. (No reflection on your adaptability personally RainyDay).

So where do you reckon anyone can get the knowledge/skills/experience to be a management consultant, then?
