Consulting typically involves providing expert analysis, solutions, or recommendations to solve specific problems. Consultants are often hired to deliver a defined outcome within a set timeframe. 

Expert-driven: ‘We’ll analyse the issue and TELL you what to do.’ 

Project-based: Often tied to a single initiative (e.g. restructure, system implementation). 

Client dependency: The consultant does most of the heavy lifting. 

May lack implementation support: Once advice is delivered, it’s often up to the client to execute.
