A grandiose windbag who bullshits for a fee. They can't do anything useful, so they enter teaching, but they find out they can't teach very well so they try to teach teachers, but the teacher they teach think they are tossers, so they become academic consultants.
Chas: Who the fuck is that grandiose tosser at the front of the room who keeps bullshitting?
Nick: He's what's called an Academic Consultant. Tosser.

this is a new phenomenon in the professional services or consulting industry where consultants are straightforward and truthful with their clients. They are "keeping it real" and cutting out the bullshit. They don't use buzzwords and try to be honest as possible. Like organic food, organic consulting is consulting without fluff.
Your client wants to close their widget factory in China and open it in California. If you practice Organic Consulting you would say "are you nuts, you'll lose money. Don't be an idiot." Whereas, the typical consultant would say "that's an interesting idea, let's investigate further and prepare a business case. We charge $300 per hour for that service."

A functional consultant who through the liberal use of Blue Steel and Magnum mesmerize their clients into believing that they are consistently hard at work when actually the opposite is true. This also applies to their extreme ability to a speak convincingly about their supposed field of expertise while in fact knowing the bare minimum possible. Such consultants can usually be visually identified by their high level of metrosexuality, use of cuticle cream and belief that they are "professionally good looking".
That lead consultant always talks like he knows his stuff, but he doesn't even know how to long into the system and needs to use a reference book to find stuff. He should get the Academy award for best actor for "Best Portrayal of a Consultant on an Implementation"... what a Hollywood Consultant.
