Re: Management Consultants

I don't understand how these companies exist

Simple there are several basic roles

1/ Employed by government department to rubberstamp because elected dummies require an external entity to confirm what they want to do.

2/ Independent entity to manage PMO and sort out shit fights between vendors and clients

3/ To provide functions and features that the client company doesn't have

4/ etc

I have worked in all these roles for PwCC before IBM bought us. They then tried to turn us into box shifters. Most if not all ended up leaving hence the requirement for IBM to hire an external consultancy group. All I can say is Ha Ha.
