General management consultancy activities involve advising organisations on how to plan, organise and improve their overall business. Consultants may review an organisation's strategy, structure, governance, finances, workforce or day-to-day operations, then identify issues and propose practical changes. Their work can cover areas such as business planning, performance measurement, risk management, resource allocation, leadership and organisational development. Services may include research and analysis, workshops with managers and staff, preparation of reports and recommendations, and support with putting agreed changes into practice. This can involve managing projects, redesigning processes, supporting organisational change or monitoring results. General management consultants work with businesses, charities and public sector organisations of different sizes and across many industries; they may provide broad advice or focus on particular management challenges.
