IT company gets into a new project and gets stuck. Doesn't know how to get out. Calls in the over-priced consultants from Bain, Accenture, etc. who also have no clue BUT no how to sell themselves as experts. IT company buys it and puts rank amateurs in place of their halfway seasoned employees to head the project. Consulting company bills a fortune to get the job done while "learning on the job" to figure out what needed to be done. Meanwhile, Consulting company looks for other "problems" and ways to remain at client site to make more money. IT Company employees get fed up and begin to leave. And THAT is how the whole business works. It's a laugh but the executives in large companies are even more clueless than the consultants.
