Management consultants add £56bn of value to their clients, according to its

The Management Consultancies Association’s
(MCA)
analysis of 1,800 consultig projects found that the majority of projects
generate returns between two and 20 times their cost.
Alan Leaman, MCA chief executive, said: “Too many conversations about
consulting start and end with the assumption that it is just a cost; we can now
see that there is a significant return on this investment as well. This work is
based exclusively on the views and experience of clients and the methodology was
cautious.”
