Seen from where I sit the answer is simple-get in the consultants!
Here's why:
-We have loads of experience. My colleagues and I have all personally structured many deals, and run departments in big banks;
-We just get paid for our time, and don't have any claim on the bonus pool;
-We're not part of the headcount, so easier to bring in as & when required to get a specific job done;
-We're not part of the hierarchy, so do not get involved in office politics; we're just there to make things happen.
