A business consultant is a professional who provides professional or expert advice in a particular field, such as security (electronic or physical), management, accountancy, law, human resources, marketing (and public relations), financial control, engineering, science, digital transformation, exit planning, or any of a large number of other specialised fields. The term "consultant" comes from the Latin consultare, which means "to discuss."

A consultant is often someone who is an expert or a professional in a certain field and has a broad range of knowledge in relation to a particular topic. The time, money, and resources of their customers may all be maintained thanks to the work of consultants. Outside of the field of medicine (where the word "consultant" refers to a certain level of medical practitioner), the function of a consultant may be classified as one of two broad types.

A person who works inside an organisation but is accessible to other departments or people for consultation on matters pertaining to their areas of expertise is known as an internal consultant (acting as clients).

An external consultant is a person who is engaged externally (either by a company or some other agency) and whose knowledge is supplied on a temporary basis, often for a fee. This kind of consultant is typically hired by a company. As a result, this sort of consultant often works with a variety of different customers throughout the course of their career.

Clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than it would be feasible for them to retain in-house when working with a consultant, and they have the option to purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as they desire, which contributes to the overall positive impact of consulting.

==Education==
Kaplan completed his [[Master's degree|master’s]] in economics from the Riga Technological University of Civil Aviation, graduating in 1997.

==Career==
In 2015, Kaplan founded Kaplan Research Company, a business consulting company. The company's primary objective is to conduct market research and implement the results to enhance enterprises.<ref>{{cite web |title=«Это паршивый бизнес». Почему Уоррен Баффет пожалел денег на новые станки : |url=https://pro.rbc.ru/demo/63da0c1d9a7947cca18ca8e1?fbclid=IwAR2gRwBK8HvnUuMLfIh_ajV6CPcy0SSZ2m89zWL1_hNSF_3NmlF2KmKXIf4 |website=РБК Pro |accessdate=7 December 2023 |language=ru}}</ref> Since its inception, the company has been assisting businesses in all industries in attaining their goals and objectives through consulting services.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kā uzņēmējam attīstīt savu harismu? |url=https://forbesbaltics.com/lv/viedokli/raksts/ka-uznemejam-attistit-savu-harismu |website=forbesbaltics.com |accessdate=7 December 2023}}</ref>

The same year, Kaplan initiated the Business Intellect IQ Project, a research project that sought to quantify and improve the capacity of entrepreneurs to define and resolve business challenges.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ярослав Каплан — все книги и биография автора в интернет-магазине «Альпина Паблишер» |url=https://alpinabook.ru/authors/yaroslav-kaplan/ |website=alpinabook.ru |accessdate=7 December 2023 |language=ru}}</ref> Kaplan noticed that only three out of ten businesses survive their tenth anniversary; thus, to determine the cause of the high "business mortality rate" in entrepreneurship, he initiated research into the matter.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kā paplašināt biznesa domāšanas robežas? |url=https://forbesbaltics.com/lv/viedokli/raksts/ka-paplasinat-biznesa-domasanas-robezas |website=forbesbaltics.com |accessdate=7 December 2023}}</ref>

During his six years of research, Kaplan compiled a list of the most "common" entrepreneurial mental misconceptions and erroneous beliefs that lead to failure. His debut publication, "The Odyssey of Goshio the Goldfish," was based on these elements. The book functions as a narrative and a structural framework for entrepreneurs and has been translated into fifteen languages.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cīņa par līderību – uzņēmēji pret vadītājiem |url=https://forbesbaltics.com/lv/viedokli/raksts/cina-par-lideribu---uznemeji-pret-vaditajiem |website=forbesbaltics.com |accessdate=7 December 2023}}</ref>

Kaplan concluded his initial research in 2021 and authored "Business Incognita: How to Expand the Boundaries of Entrepreneurial Thinking."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Davenport |first1=Mary |title=The Essence of Achievement: Unveiling 'Business Incognita' with Jaroslav Kaplan |url=https://londoninsider.co.uk/the-essence-of-achievement-unveiling-business-incognita-with-jaroslav-kaplan/ |website=London Insider |accessdate=7 December 2023 |date=25 November 2023}}</ref> The book was published by one of the largest and most prestigious publishing houses in Russia, [https://alpinabook.ru/catalog/book-biznes-incognita/?offerId=90411 Alpina Publisher].

The book is the most comprehensive research work on the perception of value that has ever been accomplished.<ref>{{cite web |title=Что лежит в сердце предпринимательского мышления |url=https://dzen.ru/a/ZP4vRkDKEHCmZ5e4?sid=109589354920300759 |website=dzen.ru |accessdate=7 December 2023}}</ref> The book unravels the results of research into Business Intellect as a distinct phenomenon—one that involves posing and resolving problems that arise in the course of entrepreneurial activities.<ref>{{cite web |title=Каплан Ярослав - пользователь, сотрудник {{!}} ИСТИНА – Интеллектуальная Система Тематического Исследования НАукометрических данных |url=https://istina.msu.ru/profile/JaroslavKaplan/ |website=istina.msu.ru |accessdate=7 December 2023 |language=ru}}</ref> The main focus of analysis in such business tasks is how various target markets perceive the value of products or services. There is no value without having a product, yet the existence of a product does not, by itself, imply high value for the consumer. And that is the dilemma to be solved in the entrepreneurial task.<ref>{{cite web |title=Uzņēmuma sabrukuma neredzamie prognozētāji |url=https://forbesbaltics.com/lv/viedokli/raksts/uznemuma-sabrukuma-neredzamie-prognozetaji |website=forbesbaltics.com |accessdate=7 December 2023}}</ref>

==Professional associations==
Kaplan is a member of the International Association of Specialists in Strategic and Competitive Intelligence (SCIP, USA), highlighting his knowledge and authority in the field.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kā tam vajadzētu būt |url=https://forbesbaltics.com/lv/forbeslife/raksts/ka-tam-vajadzetu-but |website=forbesbaltics.com |accessdate=7 December 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Jaunās ēras līderība |url=https://forbesbaltics.com/lv/viedokli/raksts/jaunas-eras-lideriba |website=forbesbaltics.com |accessdate=7 December 2023}}</ref>

In addition to being a recognized business consultant, market researcher, and author, Kaplan is also a public speaker, contributing his insights at various industry conferences and seminars.<ref>{{cite web |title=Что такое творческий подход в бизнесе |url=https://uprav.ru/blog/tvorcheskiy-podkhod-v-biznese/ |website=uprav.ru |accessdate=7 December 2023 |language=ru}}</ref> He has been cited by several publications and media outlets, including US Reporter, CEO World, LA Weekly, Digital Journal, MSN, Khaleej Times, and London Insider.

==Early life and education==
Forrest was born on August 2, 1989, in Amsterdam, [[Netherlands]], and grew up in a family of actors. His father, Anthony Forrest, and mother, Evelijn Forrest, were both actors, and his grandmother was also involved in the performing arts. When Forrest was very young, his family moved to England, where his mother started teaching drama at his school when he was just five years old.

Forrest spent his childhood in various countries, including [[England]], [[Canada]], and the [[United States]], before eventually settling in London to study theater.

==Career==
After spending his formative years in [[London]], [[Toronto]], and [[Los Angeles]], Forrest returned to London to pursue acting and began performing on stage all over the UK.<ref>{{cite web |last1=staff |first1=E.

During this time, he developed an interest in directing and enjoyed collaborating with actors and crew members to tell compelling stories.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Group |first1=Edward Sylvan, CEO of Sycamore Entertainment |title=Samuel Kay Forrest: 5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I First Became A Filmmaker |url=https://medium.com/authority-magazine/samuel-kay-forrest-5-things-i-wish-someone-told-me-when-i-first-became-a-filmmaker-d01e267afa00 |website=Authority Magazine |accessdate=24 April 2023 |language=en |date=17 January 2022}}</ref>

To pursue his passion for filmmaking, Forrest attended film school in Los Angeles.
