As part of Devex’s ongoing focus on careers during COVID, Executive Vice President Kate Warren talks to Dr. Elvira Beracochea, a global health consultant, on how the coronavirus is changing the way consultants operate.
Working virtually could be the new normal for consultants, Beracochea said. Not only is it more cost-effective for clients but it puts more emphasis on knowledge sharing to build capacity and empower local teams.
There are, of course, activities that are better suited to in-person interactions, Beracochea continued, but many assignments can be carried out virtually through online research, desktop reviews of evidence, and interviews via Skype.
