Consulting Consultants: Training
There are two distinct routes you can go (3 if you do a combination of the two) when it comes to knowledge: specialization or breadth. Specialization is exactly what it sounds like in that you pick a technology or subject and you dive in deep. You become the guru of that topic/technology/whatever.
