The role involves working with organisations in all sectors to improve their performance. But what skills do you need?

Management consultants help businesses improve their performance.
If you're interested in how a business works – its strategy, structure, management and operations – a career in management consultancy might be for you.

Management consultants help businesses improve their performance and grow by solving problems and finding new and better ways of doing things. It's not just in the private sector either – many firms work with public sector organisations to help develop their services and, where necessary, reduce costs and make savings.


Consultancy firms offer services across all areas of business – from HR and marketing, to IT and finance. The broad span of consulting work makes it an attractive career, offering a variety of projects, challenges and opportunities for personal development. This might involve working all over the world with multinational clients, even if you don't join one of the big firms.
The biggest consultancies have several hundred or thousands of employees, but there are a growing number of successful niche players across Nigeria, with between 10 and 100 consultants, who also offer some interesting career opportunities.

Olaotan Akinniranye, principal Consultant Novatia Consulting Limited, , shared his insights into the job: "I am really fascinated by working with different customers on different projects – and very much enjoy the momentum and excitement we create in the organisations we work with. I like being in the middle of all the different pieces that need to come together. For example, an issue comes up and you think, 'I haven't seen that before, I need to pull in the right people from the right teams, I need to put in place the right processes and I need to get the right technology in place to fix that issue.'

Novatia Consulting Limited is an award-winning top management consulting company in Nigeria 2015.
