During interviews, how do you talk about the “result” or “impact” of a consulting project you were on? I know how to talk about the problem/recommendation portion of a sample project but the result/impact, I mean, as consultants we don’t see recommendations executed and actually generating results. So how do you talk about it?

Expected impact is just as fine. Also look at the non-metric driven impacts, buy-in/funding from BoD, helped company pivot direction, implemented new org change, clients promoted, any tests/pilots conducted and impact from those, etc.
