Abstract
The skills required of a consultant include the substantive knowledge to provide clients with a useful answer as well as communicate with the client.

Key elements include visualization of the solution, nuclear elements of the theoretical models, interpersonal skills to allow information to flow, and a deep understanding of the substantive field.
