Management analysts, also known as management consultants, assess an organization’s structure, efficiency, and earnings and make recommendations for improvement. There are three main types: financial, information, and project. Their analyses help organizations gain a competitive advantage.
Management analysts are employed by public companies, organizations and government agencies. For the same professionals who work independently or in a consulting role, the position is often referred to as management consultants. Management analysts assess an organization’s structure, efficiency, and earnings. They then make recommendations on how the organization can improve in all these areas. There are three main types of management analysts: financial, information, and project.
Financial management analysts help organizations evaluate and make investment decisions. These analysts also review and make recommendations on anything related to the company’s financial health. A financial management analyst’s general focus is on all trends that affect the industry, geographic region, or product or service in which organizations operate. For example, financial management analysts working for the local power company would focus on trends affecting the utility industry.
Information management analysts evaluate an organization’s software, technology, and procedures for using and storing information. They would make recommendations on how the organization can streamline the sales process or what computer software the company can use to make the entire process more efficient. For example, an information management analyst might suggest that a mortgage lender implement a workflow management software system to speed up the processing of mortgage files.
Project management analysts tend to focus on the details of a specific project. A popular venue for this type of analyst is in construction companies, where the company has multiple building or construction projects going on at the same time. A project management analyst reviews and evaluates all aspects of the project, from gathering estimates of the work that needs to be done in each area to overseeing the project when construction is underway.
Management consultants tend to be self-employed or work for a private organization. Consultants may work part-time in their own office, but the majority of work is done at the client’s location. If a company hires a financial management consultant, they are hiring that individual to provide an outside perspective on what they need to do to improve the company’s financial situation.
All the analyzes carried out by these types of management analysts help the organization to gain a competitive advantage over its competitors. The necessary changes identified by the analysts are those that improve the process, effectiveness and efficiency of the internal and external organization, as well as the products or services that the organization produces.
