They’re expensive because they’re cover for the executives to make a move. The executives can shield liability and justify any change by saying they did it in consultation with a big firm. It’s virtually impossible to pierce that with a lawsuit.

Results are good:

  • Business CEO takes credit, shareholders are happy with CEO
  • Consultancy got paid, shareholders are happy

Results are bad:

  • Business CEO blames consultancy, shareholders don't blame CEO
  • Consultancy got paid, shareholders are happy

Worked at a company that would give money to McKinsey frequently for decisions. When the decisions went well, they would pay themselves on the back for their insight and leadership. When they went wrong, well they just got bad into from the consultancy.. not their fault
