Of all the businesses, by far,
Consultancy's the most bizarre.
For, to the penetrating eye,
There is no apparent reason why,
With no more assets than a pen,
This group of personable men,
Can sell to a client more than twice,
The same ridiculous advice,
Or find in such a rich profusion,
Problems to fit their own solution.
Bertie Ramsbottom, in the Financial Times, April 11, 1981
quoted in Management consultants: what do they do?, De Jon, Van Eekelen, The Leadership & Organization Development Journal 20/4 1990, 181-188
