During my 6 year career in technology I have come across various consultants doing all sorts of studies for the companies. I found very few of them to be justified the rest – a waste of money. Its like paying someone more than what you make to tell you what you already know. I am yet to see great value out of a consultant.
I love this statement made by Anil Ambani: “Don’t hire a consultant to tell you the time from your own watch! “.. right on.
