Seasoned professionals have much wisdom to offer to younger, inexperienced business leaders. Many are choosing business consulting, also called management consulting, as a second career. The economic slump lately has business leaders seeking help from consultants who specialize in increasing efficiency and profitability. Learning how to become a business consultant is surprisingly simply. There are training courses that introduce students to the core fundamentals of  business analysis consulting, the daily operational knowledge of a consulting business, and the ethics considerations involved in being a business consultant. Though business professionals have years of experience, before assessing someone else's business and giving advice, they are wise to seek training that fills any gaps in their skill sets.
