Management consulting remains a popular career choice but undertaking a consulting project for the first time can seem daunting for the student or new professional.
This book, now in its fifth edition, aims specifically to guide students through the consultancy process, while also giving tips and techniques to the more seasoned practitioner. This is delivered from the accumulated knowledge and insight of the authors and contributors, who all have been consultants.
This fifth edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect today’s dynamic business environment. The impact of new digital technologies on consulting and business in general, and the use of evidence, gained through studies on consulting, are considered.
It provides a careful balance between theory and practice and is ideal for anyone who is undertaking a consulting project.
Key features
- A comprehensive introduction to the best practice in conducting a consulting project.
- Key insights into how best to tackle the challenges that arise.
- Case studies from across a wide range of industries at the end of each chapter and a long case study running throughout the book.
- Help in choosing and developing a career in consultancy.
- Extensive references and further reading to underpin a student’s knowledge.
New to this edition
- Further links to theories developed in other courses such as strategy and management.
- In the Preface, several ‘pathways’ are provided for the different types of project a student may be required to undertake, taking into account their academic level and previous experience.
- Throughout the chapters, the key ideas are highlighted to aid the reader in navigating the book.
- New case exercises, based on real consulting projects, to put tools and techniques into practice, including a new long case study on a strategic review for a company.
Louise Wickham is the Director of Wickham Consulting Services Ltd and a practising consultant specialising in strategy and marketing. She has over 30 years business experience, both within companies and as a consultant, working for a wide range of consumer-facing businesses and the not-for-profit sector.
Jeremy Wilcock is the Business Engagement Manager at the Business School, University of Hull. He has 27 years industrial experience with a major multi-national where he worked on numerous internal consultancy projects.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
