Description
Management advisors are the strategic planners behind operations consultants (who are in charge of execution).
Traditional management consultants (and advisors) are MBAs who have spent a decade or more in the corporate space.
I’ve studied 500+ of them and over 80% fell in this category.
Funnily enough, this is mainly dictated by the background of “management consulting”. This isn’t a popular title in the startup ecosystem and most founders haven’t gone through this process in the first place.
Which is why a lot of traditional management advisors dive into a certain specialty for SMBs and startups and rely on the following titles instead:
- Digital consultant
- Growth strategist
- Startup consultant
- An advisor for startups
- Business consultant for startups
Management consultants are expected to help organizations improve their operations performance, head analysis of existing organizational issues, and develop plans for improvement.
