Debunking the consulting myth

Video Description

In this video, I dive deep into the world of consulting, an industry that has grown from $100 billion to a staggering $1 trillion+ over the last 25 years. I think it's time to start a conversation about the real impact of the consulting industry on our economy and society. Watch this first video of my 'Consulting is a scam' series to find out why the consulting world may not be all it’s cracked up to be—and why it might be doing more harm than good. Also please leave your thoughts in a comment :) I'm dying to know what your experiences with the consulting world have been like. Here are the sources I used for this video :) The Big Con: How the consulting industry weakens our businesses, infantilizes our governments, and warps our economies, by Marianna Mazzucato and Rosie Collington When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm, by Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe https://www.proquest.com/docview/199814937/4E065638C6954749PQ/1?accountid=14682&cid=CID:20240822081135283:623945&fromOL=true&parentSessionId=gtBLEb6uJ0Oxza97KiDuZzhobey9oQtBPC44M2u2ZrE%3D&sourcetype=Scholarly%20Journals https://www.statista.com/statistics/1234833/global-management-consulting-services-market-size/ https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/03/business/mckinsey-opioids-settlement.html https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/04/mckinsey-in-puerto-rico.html https://www.jec.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/democrats/issue-briefs?ID=CE55E977-B473-414F-8B88-53EB55EB7C7C https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/fentanyl-and-us-opioid-epidemic https://govdata.co.uk/news/public-sector-spending-on-consultants-soars/ https://www.reddit.com/r/consulting/comments/1etbye4/feeling_lost_at_mbb/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/250935/big-four-accounting-firms-breakdown-of-revenues/ https://www.propublica.org/article/how-mckinsey-is-making-100-million-and-counting-advising-on-the-governments-bumbling-coronavirus-response https://www.standard.co.uk/business/government-covid-private-contracts-30-billion-pwc-deloitte-british-airways-b933081.html https://www.capital.de/wirtschaft-politik/bund-zahlte-2020-fast-80-mio-euro-fuer-corona-beratung https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228537445_The_Nature_Of_Client-Consultant_Interaction_A_Critical_Review https://www.reddit.com/r/consulting/comments/owafqs/is_your_job_basically_just_making_powerpoint_too/ https://www.reddit.com/r/consulting/comments/jkltgj/i_feel_like_a_lot_of_consulting_is_bullshit/ https://www.ey.com/de_de/forms/download-forms/2023/03/ey-venture-capital-study-2022 https://managementconsulted.com/deloitte-university/ https://www.mckinsey.com/quarterly/overview https://academic.oup.com/qje/pages/About https://academic.oup.com/qjmed/issue https://www.ey.com/en_ch/careers/frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=Is%20there%20a%20dress%20code,to%20have%20a%20professional%20appearance. https://www.fishbowlapp.com/post/is-it-common-in-the-consulting-industry-to-take-blame-for-something-your-client-screwed-up-on https://www.reddit.com/r/consulting/comments/tk4c61/why_do_clients_still_buy_into_our_bullshit/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LinkedInLunatics/comments/wlcl82/ceo_posted_crying_selfie_after_layoffs_to_show/ https://www.mckinsey.com/our-people/andre-dua https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-moon-a219723/ https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/6988833/McKinsey-Pricing-Sheet-Email.pdf https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nya_Karolinska,_december_2016a.jpg https://www.bcg.com/industries/health-care/value-based-health-care https://www.auntminnieeurope.com/clinical-news/article/15653692/whats-gone-wrong-at-the-karolinska#:~:text=Several%20people%20with%20cancer%20died,not%2C%20the%20most%20expensive%20hospital. https://www.google.com/search?q=burj+khalifa+building+cost&rls=com.microsoft:en-GB:{referrer:source?}&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7SVEF_enDE448
