Hi there,

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your question:

  • First of all, a delivery consultant typically focuses more on the implementation aspects of consulting.
  • Moreover, I wonder why you are asking this. Did the job description not explain enough or did the name just come across you?

You can find more on this topic here: How to succeed in the final interview round.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

It's a more implementation-focused role (similar to any other specialist consultant role), meaning they work more (not always exclusively) on implementation projects.

Apart from the different work focus, there are usually no differences.

Cheers,

Florian
