Time and material models offer flexibility, but flexibility without control is dangerous. When scope is unclear and governance is weak, time and material quietly encourages drift. Costs rise without visible failure, making intervention harder. This model works only when leadership actively manages priorities, challenges estimates, and tracks outcomes, not hours. Without strong oversight, time and material becomes comfortable for vendors and expensive for clients.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA. She has been on the bench for 2 months and was informed that there has been a shortage of jobs (within the job) and the amount of people on the bench is getting high. She has been under a lot of stress although she had many great networking calls with people. I wanted to help but can't identify what she can improve on.

New to SAP. What are good modules to learn if you are interested in supply chain?

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?
