I worked as one and our mantra was to simplify the complex. Of course people didn't like us, because simplifying meant costing people their jobs (the one part I didn't like about the work, which is why I got out after a few short years). Hence all the jokes. In any case...
That may have been your mantra, but usually they are employed to justify staff cuts by gutless employers. I worked and managed for many years in an industry which had to adapt to new technology and changing markets and we faced those challenges by keeping abreast of the world around us and talking to our staff, not all changes were easily accepted but a level of trust was kept, this was all lost when a new broom decided to use outside consultants with whom they briefed to met unrealistic targets.
