What's a consultant?

"A consultant is a person in a position to have some influence on an individual, group or an organization, but who has no direct power to make changes or implement programs." (Block, 2000)

Schaffer (2002) states that consultants are accountable for creating solutions "while clients are accountable for using those solutions".
