Strategy is an action taken by the management team in an organisation to achieve its goals. It is about using the resources within an organisation to meet its objectives. Consulting is providing advice or other activities in an area of specialisation.

The most prestigious form of consulting is strategy consulting which deals with long-term and high-impact decisions. It focuses on the biggest problems that an organisation faces. Strategy consultants help organisations out by developing and implementing business strategies.

There are many reasons why strategy consultants are required. They help organisations to eliminate any of the biases that may be existing within them and provide an impartial perspective. They bring with them the best practice followed in the industry which the organisation may not know. 

If an organisation uses an internal strategy then the strategy consultants can support the team if they do not have enough capacity. A good strategy consultant will help the manager of an organisation to improve their decision-making. 

Organisations can hire strategy consultants for their advice on how to develop, implement and sustain their goals.  Strategy consultants can help the organisation to set goals, design roadmaps, execute the plan and measure success. 

Sometimes the strategy consultant provides more benefits to an organisation than using internal processes. They can provide a team to work on problem-solving and bring in experts for solving business challenges. They can bring creative solutions.
