    More like the client who paid for my firms services coming in, belittling the very professionals they paid to do their job and acting as if they know better.

      Oh. I just thought that’s how things worked. You hire a consultant and pay them a bunch of money to tell you to do something that half of every current employee is already telling you to do, that you’re definitely not going to do anyway, then you vehemently disagree with the consultants.

      Is that not the consulting process?

        My experience is a little different.

        You bring in consultants to gin up some reasons to do what you already wanted to do. The consultants are an important part of coving your ass if things don’t work out as they make a nice scapegoat.
