mph, more on consultants. - Holly

Top Ten Things You'll Never Hear from your Consultant

You're right; we're billing way too much for this.

Bet you I can go a week without saying "synergy" or "value-added."

How about paying us based on the success of the project?

This whole strategy is based on a Harvard business case I read.

Actually, the only difference is that we charge more than they do.

I don't know enough to speak intelligently about that.

Implementation? I only care about writing long reports.

The problem is, you have too much work for too few people.

Everything looks okay to me. You really don't need me.

From a recent PM exchange:

PMer1: "Biochemistry is far from an exact science."

PMer2: This I know, as do many dead lab rats and malpractice attorneys.

PMer1: SAVE THE RATS! USE LAWYERS!
