In Reply To: Can you elaborate more on why its crap ? You're telling me none of the things he cites happens at consulting companies? Come on.. I've met consultants from every firm that think most of the work done in the end is BS.
Message: It seems silly to discount all of the contributions of such a large industry. Through the whole book it felt like Kihn was working really hard to spin everything negative. How bad is it really to have dinner with coworkers - even if it's mandatory? Why is MJ Wolf's decision to leave for Mck presented like a personal affront? So what if consultants use jargon and say "right" a lot? etc.
