Clients always throw consultants under the bus. My leadership and coworkers have blamed McK, Deloitte, Accenture, and others for bad models or bad project outcomes.

Maybe 30-40% of that is true, but the rest is that our internal resources aren’t very good and just shift blame.

Where is the leadership on this?! Seriously.

Curious about details if you can without giving anything away.
