Big consulting firms love it when they can
stuff a conference room full of senior staff, partners and
managers. Add remote participation to a meeting and fees can
go through the roof!
You probably don't expect your consultant
to know all the intricacies and nuances of your business. But
you shouldn't have to help them figure out how to do their job.
Some documentation is essential to a
project. However, many firms spend an inordinate amount of
time getting things etched in stone (perhaps so they can bill you
more?).
