I concur. Many VPs bend ears so easily you got to wonder. do they also get invited to some private dinner by those so called slick consultants, who pay the bill in a rush and leaves after forgetting some thick envelope on the table.

It’s a story as old as time itself. IBM has been doing it at least as far back as the 60’s. Fancy consultants who know the tech and also know how to sell and make themselves seem way smarter than the VP’s reports. Do one slick presentation and the VP is asking his team “why didn’t you guys come up with this stuff?”

Next thing you know these multi-million-dollar contracts are signed and the existing teams are just shaking their heads. The smart ones have already put out their resumes and started interviewing elsewhere.

I'm not one of those smart ones. So many things I was seeing for years make much more sense now.

It's an old story but I guarantee you many don't know about it.
