Abstract
The use of management consultants to assist the process of strategy development has been the topic of much interest in recent years. In particular, the strategy consulting firms have received much attention through their development of, and association with, strategic frameworks and concepts. Despite this, relatively little is known about the management consulting industry and even less about the practices of those consultants operating at the strategic levels in organizations. This paper provides an analysis of the strategy consulting industry in the United Kingdom. It surveys the management consultants involved in strategy consulting and identifies their size and the extent of their activities in such work. It reviews the type of strategy assignments currently being undertaken and discusses some CEO's assessment of the consultant's work. Guidelines are provided for managers considering the use of management consultants for strategy work.
