Life of a Business Principal in Consulting

A Business Principal needs all the tools and techniques that is available for solutioning. With Machine learning emerging as a key trend in the upcoming years, it makes more sense to understand how to use it for solutioning.

The other day I was working on a strategy document for one of my consulting assignments. What was strange was that I had access to all information but I was not sure how to present it in a clear way that would mean action from the stake holders.

However, we always have impediments in terms of selecting the right information to present, providing the right context and suggesting the right set of next level activities.
