Managing Marginality The Internal Consultants Dilemma
| |
| Internal and external consultants use many of the same techniques and tools, do similar work, but face very different challenges. Internal consultants work in a unique position. Their job role is to consult to the organization for which they work. It is not easy to be, at the same time, a part of an organization and function as detached and independent. Each position on the consulting continuum places different pressures on the internal than the external, making them either more or less a part of the organization.

Managing this position becomes paramount to success for the internal. |

How far is this true? he asked his fellow panellists.
