Executive Consultants vs Management Consultants
What's the difference ?
Article By Kieran Perry - Best Business Coach
Executive consultants and management consultants are both valuable to your business, but they're still different.
Executive Consultants
Executive consultants work on a one-time basis and usually have specialized knowledge in a specific area—like marketing, human resources, or finance. They help you define your goals and then provide advice on how best to achieve them. If you need help with things like developing a marketing strategy or creating an employee handbook, then an executive consultant might be who you're looking for.
Management Consultants
Management consultants work on a longer-term basis than executive consultants and typically specialize in general management issues or organizational development needs. Management consultants can help companies with everything from restructuring their workforce or developing new systems for communication within their organization—they're really great at helping organizations grow as they get bigger, which is why so many businesses hire management consultants when they start expanding rapidly (which is often!).
One of the major differences between an executive consultant and a management consultant is their scope of expertise. An executive consult's expertise will often be more focused than that of a management consult because they are more likely to work with individual executives rather than entire organizations or departments within those organizations (though this is not always true).
Executive consultant or management consultant
here are the five main differences:
- Executive consultants work with senior executives of large businesses, while management consultants work with middle managers. (but not always)
- Executive consultants help their clients formulate strategies, while management consultants help their clients implement strategies.
- Executive consultants are usually compensated on a retainer basis, while management consultants are usually compensated on an hourly basis.
- Executive consultants tend to be paid more than management consultants because they're more expensive to recruit and train, but both are highly skilled professionals who bring unique value to any organization they work for!
- Executive consultants work with CEOs, chief financial officers (CFOs), chief operations officers (COOs), and other high-level executives at their client companies; management consultants often work with middle managers or even lower-level employees at their client companies
