I am amazed as to how every year we trounce like cattle to the tunes of consultants. Not one person is interested in making things better or stressing the value of clients. Every year consultants charge as they wish without any regulation. I am shocked by the lack of accountability of consultants despite the numbers of highly educated people in the forum.
I can just keep quiet, and walk away. My life will go on, but some other sucker with bright eyes will be signing up hoping everything will be taken care of now that he signed up with a responsible company.
All i am saying is there needs to me greater accountability and fairness towards us clients(applicants seeking consultation), their priorities, and in the present state the operations are conducted. I am least interested in the opinions of consultants and the endless comments that may follow. I hope this forum and its members strive to bring a sense of reality to the prices and operations of these boutiques.
This hardly makes sense...
With
any professional services you use you'll be facing this issue of 'accountability.' There will always be the good and the bad. There will always be professionals who are accountable and professionals who are not.
Just like with any other professional service, it's your own responsibility to ask the right questions and firmly establish your expectations upfront. Then if you do end up hiring them, and they don't live up to those expectations, it's your responsibility to call them out on that and personally hold them accountable.
That's how it works in the real world (especially the business world) and I don't see why it would differ when working with an MBA consultant.
