Business Consulting is often confused with other forms of consulting, such as strategic consulting or management consulting. Business consulting is a form of corporate consulting where a specialist (typically one with many years of business experience) assists with optimizing internal workflow and the internal inner workings of the business as a whole, including:

• Hierarchy: The manner in which a business operates includes the management & executive hierarchy. Optimizing and tweaking the business hierarchy can help to effectively streamline how teams work, which can positively alter how the business operates.
• Structure: The business structure of an enterprise can be optimized so that every department is working at full capacity. A business consultant may use industry data, statistics, and experience to suggest the best structure for a business to adop
• Organization: Like the business structure, a business consultant may help an enterprise optimize its organization, which includes both macro-level organizational factors (e.g. the C-suite executive/management structure and standard duties) and micro-level organizational factors (e.g. how different teams within specific departments are organized, and how teams carry out workflows within the business ecosystem)
• Teams: A business consultant may suggest that more teams within a department be created, or that some teams be dismantled. Their job might include assisting with altering how teams operate within a business for further efficiency.
• Workflows/Operations: A business consultant often acts in an overlapping manner when compared with an operations consultant and/or a business analyst. Such a consultant may help an enterprise with streamlining operations, workflows, projects, and other business tasks whose optimization can increase the bottom line of a business.
• Business environment: A business consultant may help a business to draft a code of ethics, or may help an enterprise deal with intra- or inter-departmental issues associated with the workplace environment.
