The Big 4 consulting firms that incompetent senior managers in every industry and in government throw billions at every year are like the Wild West. No regulation, everybody is a partner because that way they escape any of the requirements of corporate governance. Designed purely as money-making machines, vampire squids that attach themselves to organisations and don’t leave until they’ve sucked them dry. Deb O’Neill’s brutal take-down of them in the Senate inquiry is glorious to watch.
