I hear this a lot but I think you could extend it to most products and services.
The most important skill in producing widgets is not widget crafting it’s delivering a product that makes your customer happy to purchase them.
Seems pedantic, but if you sell lots of widgets that make your customer happy with their purchase and they are bad widgets then you will stop getting business.
Same with consulting. If your firm delivers bad advice companies will not hire you again, and other companies will catch on. Lots of firms have repeat customers year after year. Exec positions at f500s are full of consulting alums. I’m sure if consulting was just a bunch of fluff that they’d love to save the money and take the work in house.
That being said, communication is probably more important for a consultant in day to day activities than it is for someone developing a product or building a house etc.
And one more thing. “Consulting” has evolved a lot since the business strategy popped up like 50 years ago. Right now it’s moving towards more technology strategy and less corporate strategy. It will be harder to bs a cloud migration strategy or ai integration than a board reorganization or workplace transformation.
