Opinion on Management Consultants at Boeing
Boeing is currently under the gun with continued delays and reschedules on their much anticipated new jetliner. With the heat on the leadership team they have turned to an outside management consulting firm to offer serious recommendations for change. In this op-ed piece from The Seattle Times author Jon Talton discusses his opinion on the impact of management consultants on the workforce and why he believes the move foretells negative outcomes for folks working within the company.
From a 30,000 foot view this story should stand as an example of things to come as the economy continues along a flat growth pattern. More management consultants will be called in to other struggling firms with the resultant heat of public opinion directed at the consultants. Follow the Boeing saga closely and pay attention to places where you, as a consultant, can better manage the inevitable firestorms that will arise from your work.
