Hi,

I understand that it's a different role, hence my interest.

I'm not sure I agree that a contractor is there to merely practice his craft, compared to the consultant who is there to make sure a company in a better position than before. It should be a contractor's job to do that as well.

This is why I'm seeing quite a grey area between what constitutes a consultant, and a contractor, or freelancer.

I'll check out the book link, thanks.
