In Reply To: This is like the mgmt consulting version of liars poker/monkey business: Consulting Demons - Lewis Pinault This book gives a good insight into the industry: Dangeroud Company - James O'Shea Both recommended :)
Message: englaw, Am reading Consulting Demons right now and am not very impressed. It doesn't have the same humorous look at the job as monkey business does, nor does it have the technical apects of fiasco/liar's poker. To me its just Lewis' final dig at the career that took him away from getting to the moon. He seems really spiteful, unlike Troobs and Rolfe in Monkey Business. A lot of whinging if you ask me. My recommendations for books to read would be: -Built to Last -Profit from the Core -The McKinsey Way. Anyone read The McKinsey Way? Any good?
