How can consultancies ride out the downturn? That's one of the questions Wayne explores this week with David Beresford, Managing Director of Serco Consulting, whose 40,000 employees deliver services to government and private clients in over 30 countries.

The word which pops up frequently here is "relationships" – their quality, longevity and the trust they engender. And in bad times, relationships gets tested more and any flaws will be quickly exposed.

They also explore how consultants make assignments work, what makes a good consultant and the differences between working in the public and the private sector.

The intro music to the Working Week is "The Warrior" by The EMP Project, used with permission of Blue Canoe Records.
