Hi, I think that what you're referring to is simply the difference between 'strategy' and 'implementation'. I'd rather see Management Consulting as an umbrella term which constitutes of Strategy and Implementation (Operations) as two different components in general, rather than seeing 'Management Consulting' and 'Strategy Consulting' as separate roles altogether. The reason is that although there are firms that specialise in one of those (like MBB specialise more in Strategy and Big 4 have more Implementation work), they still try to expand into the other. That is, MBBs are increasingly trying to up their implementation game, while B4s are trying to up their strategy game (Monitor Deloitte for example). This means that an MBB 'Strategy Consultant' may be required to do implementation work too if the project so required and similarly for Strategy work in B4. Therefore, I feel both may be more or less transferable enough to each other so much so that we can group them under the same term 'Management Consulting' while seeing them (Strategy, Operations) as two different kinds of work within it. In fact, that's how I've seen people use the term 'Management Consulting' mostly. About which career path is more suited for C-Suite roles - I saw a video by another Consulting UA-camr 'Firm Learning', an Ex-McKinsey guy who works in C-Suite now with a retail company. He says that 'implementation' work is equally important to his role and also cited example of how implementation of PayPal took his company 3 months instead of originally estimated 3 weeks, the gap he didn't really imagine would be there when he was working in Strategy. Judging by this at least, what I understood is that implementation (i.e. what you refer to as Management Consulting in the video) is equally important for a C-Suite role What are your thoughts on this?
Hey Naman, That is correct, I also view management consulting as an umbrella while strategy consulting is under that umbrella. I mentioned this at 1:04 to 1:16 and for a business to succeed you need both a strategy and implementation, but it seems my wording could have been stronger to emphasize this point. Would that have helped if I had a graphic for example with an umbrella? Also, you're right, MBBs are venturing into implementation and Big 4s into strategy but that doesn't mean Strategy Consultants will get into full-blown implementation as the expertise needed in both cases is different. The essence here is to help the viewers decide which type of work would they be more interested to do. Showing the difference in the type of work, working hours, and level of engagement between strategy consulting vs. other consulting roles is the best way to get that understanding. Thanks for watching!
@@myconsultingoffer Sure. I think simply mentioning the term 'implementation' separately along with remarking that 'not all management consultants are strategy consultants' would have made it clearer. Thanks for the video.

I am late to this video but this is great and it helped a ton! I am looking to switch careers. I am a former Middle Market banker, and I’ve decided that I want to go into consulting after speaking with a few professionals. I figured strategy was where I wanted to pursue but wasn’t really sure. This overview has helped and I’m sure I’ll learn even more after my certification program with Harvard Business School Online.

Can you get into this at age 38? Also, I think plenty of SMEs cant afford these big firms have great need for someone who advice on strategy AND assist with implementation.

Management consulting focuses on improving operational efficiency, while strategy consulting drives long-term business goals. Using Jeda AI enhances my insights in both areas, making it invaluable for effective decision-making!
Both can be stressful, but strategy consulting often involves high-stakes decisions and tight deadlines, which can be more intense. Management consulting can also be stressful, especially during large-scale changes or turnaround projects. It depends on the specific role and individual. Good luck!
