Consulting Club

Wipfli gave a presentation to the Consulting Club last week, and they did a sample case. The case they presented was a client who called them in for IT integration, and they ended up doing a lot of strategy consulting. Essentially the company was using the IT issues to cover up poor leadership and strategy. That made me wonder how often technology issues get blamed for problems that are really much deeper. Or, perhaps technology becomes the alternative to having a solid strategy, and it thus becomes a souped-up band-aid.
