Introduction to Business Consulting provides readers with an informative overview of business consulting. The text describes how consultants develop interventions to help clients achieve goals, the characteristics of a successful consultant, consultants' career options, key concepts within the profession, and much more.
The book is organized into 14 chapters, each covering a unique aspect of business consulting.

Additional chapters explore starting a consultancy business and building trust with clients to ensure consistent repeat business. Finally, the closing chapter provides readers with consulting tools, techniques, and frameworks.
