sad but true. the attitude of management always seems to be : if it costs
more, it must be better. i'd be interested to hear if anyone had any
theories on how it could ever be otherwise...
personally i tend to take the opposite attitude. my experience with
consultants has not been particularly favourable (with a couple of
exceptions). a large proportion don't really seem to give a s**t about what
they are doing; in particular they have a tendency to only do exactly what
they are asked, and no more, which is not so great when you're trying to
diagnose problems.
