Sounds about right. I know someone who's company hired VP that was ex-McKinsey, and then they hired a bunch of ex-McKinsey staff.

* offshore more dev internally * about 12 months in, lots of things breaking, so move from offshore to outsource * they try to have offshore hand off to outsource, offshore just stop working/caring * with everything in the dump, they move to a different org or leave the company

It was worse than if they were just consultants, as now the people left to clean up the mess still cross paths with those that caused the problem.

So basically the stereotype of business degrees trying to wave hands and leave the details for others to figure out after 80% of the budget has been eaten up by $5-700/hr management consultants that can do neither.
