Some people think all CONSULTANTS are evil and they offer a lot of reasons why. This presentation takes a humorous look at some of these reasons then make suggestions on how to spot the excellent consultants that DO make a difference.

1. All CONSULTANTS are Evil

2. Some people think all CONSULTANTS are
evil. Here are some of the things they say …

3. They cut you open to gain understanding …

4. … but then fail spectacularly to truly
comprehend your inner workings.

5. They construct detailed plans with prepackaged abstractions ...

6. … but when it comes to implementation
“WTF” acquires a whole new meaning.

7. They have a way to suck out your very best
ideas in a spirit of collaboration ...

8. … then claim it as their own in a breathtaking
“I’m a superhero” act.

9. They whip out their cookie cutter solutions ...

10. … and you fall to pieces in unexpected ways.

11. They make a massive song and dance to get
you committed …

12. … then send a hapless minion to do the work
(or worse, THEY turn out to be a minion).

13. They get lyrical about the impact of their
awesome solutions ...

14. … but all you get is the breathtaking impact
of their misguided conviction.

15. They enthusiastically share vast volumes of
“stuff” ...

16. … that admirably succeeds in entangling you
in inescapable perplexity.

17. They lead with the tunnel vision of a prewritten script ...

18. … and when you go off the cliff it’s your fault
… well it is, isn’t it?

19. They demand your weight in gold ...

20. … and when they’re done you become just
another skeleton in their closet.

21. All consultant are evil. Or are they?

22. There are some truly excellent consultants. I
speak from personal experience.

23. They come in with highly specific knowledge
and expertise. They help identify problems
and create solutions. They lead you through a
minefield of challenges.

24. Don’t let preconceptions rob you of the
opportunity to ask for advice and guidance.

25. Look for a consultant that captures your
attention, offers you valuable, engaging
information and one that others endorse as
a leader in the field.

26. Look for: “Wow, that’s impressive”.

27. Look for: “Aha, I get it”.

28. Look for: “Yippee, I win”.
