Beyond Solutions: Why Ethics Belong in Consulting

When you think of consulting, chances are you picture strategy decks, profit margins, and process improvements. That’s fair—it’s a field built around delivering results. But lately, I’ve been thinking more about something we don’t always talk about in consulting circles: ethics. Ethical consulting isn't just about doing things right. It’s about doing the right things. And honestly, that distinction matters more now than ever.

Coming from a background in law and management, I saw consulting as a distant, high-powered field—filled with complex frameworks, big clients, and a job title that sounded serious but strangely undefined. It wasn’t until I started exploring the world of strategy and real-world projects that I realized just how layered, dynamic, and surprisingly human the consulting profession is. The truth? Consulting’s rarely about having the answers. More often, it’s knowing what to ask and when.
