How would you explain management consulting to someone unfamiliar with it?
When working for a company, you are effectively a representative of their organization, or as Capco calls it, a "Brand Ambassador." Consider this question an opportunity to showcase your communication skills and how adeptly you'd represent their brand by communicating as succinctly as possible what management consulting is in a way that compliments Capco's language and values. Preparing and memorizing this will make you sound confident and focused on your career path.
"Management consulting is best described as a group of people who help businesses answer tough questions surrounding their operations, strategy, and profits."
"I explain management consultants as people who help businesses clarify their operations and strategy. We help businesses of all kinds max out their profitability. We implement solutions and technology to help our clients do what they do best but better."
