About the Consultation and Strategy Sector in New Zealand
Management consultants work with organisations to solve problems and recommend improvements to strengthen business performance. They help these organisations grow by identifying points of weakness and developing new and better ways of doing things. Both public and private sector businesses work with consultants to improve and develop their services, and to save money where necessary.
Demand for Skills
Chances of getting a job are best for management consultants who have at least two years' experience, as they are in high demand by employers, while chances of getting a job as a new entrant are average due to strong competition among graduates for a limited number of vacancies.
