CONSULTANTS

Ah, yes a very big and important person this. Hired using large sums of money to supposedly teach those that are routinely doing a job to do it better. A major break thorough will arise after they are through with our staffs, so says the top management that hires them.

Is this true, can these people really teach old dogs new tricks? I for one would not agree. Why, you ask, well, look here, how would you as an outsider who merely comes into and "analyses" my system for that short duration know more of it than me. It is possible that there are flaws in the system but generally this are caused by the management themselves and not me. An example would be sometimes advice to management about certain things are ignored or simply commented as being "useless". However, when the consultants appear this item mentioned will again reappear and would then be considered something very significant and dire that must be corrected or done.

It just proves a point where, when the VIP (in this case payed big money already so must listen lah) says something, it must be true and if the pauper says it, its crap. This is happening in most companies. Generally, there will be very competent staffs within the company who are more than adequately equipped to give great advice but are often overlooked because of their lowly positions.

This is the sad facts of life, so my advice is, if you want to be heard better change your career to a CONSULTANT.
