The present work sought to characterize the phases of intervention in consultants´s action and their perceptions on informality of the socioproductive experience of the clothing pole from the “Agreste Pernambucano”. To achieve this objective, a qualitative research was carried out using interviews with consultants working in the segment. A theoretical framework was used, contemplating the theme of consulting and the history of the clothing pole, its constitutive dynamics and recent transformations. The results of this research indicate that in the intervention stages adopted by the consultants, there are variations between the approaches and a sequence of logical phases is adopted, which will, in principle, guide the agents' performance with the client systems, but with an openness to adjustments to reality of companies. As for the informality, the consultants were faced with family companies immersed in traditional forms of organization, intuitive management, lack of planning, parallel to practices referred to the formal standard, resulting in the hybridism between the traditional and the modern.
