There are three different types of consulting models. Each makes different assumptions about who has the best understanding of your organization required to help it. The differences are significant, and the variations are not broadly recognized. They’re hidden from view because each type shares the same ‘consultant’ label. Most of the large, brand name consultants prefer general ignorance and thus do nothing to educate the leadership population. Because of these reasons, most leaders neither recognize they have a choice of consulting models nor understand the consequences of the choice to their change objectives and organization.
