Funnily enough, in Australia a lot of those "mum and pop" consultancies (the successful ones at least) are getting slurped up by the likes of Cognizant and co.
This may be more related to buying contacts than buying expertise.

I really do think that this type of AI use is going to become a true life/death epidemic. The people at Deloitte are not generally dumb unmotivated people. They are ruthless $$ chasers and if AI is allowed they will use it to check the boxes and move onto the next paycheck. Many of these people will effectively have their life ruined. Many will likely take their own life. Its not just harmless paperwork fudging when…

"GenAI done right" comes across like the famously elusive "agile done properly" and "safe C". If everyone is holding it wrong, are they?
Most implementations of GenAI are done correctly from what I’ve seen. A huge amount of production code is written by AI, and I use it every day because it’s fast and significantly improves my productivity.
For a bit of background, this report concerned a problematic IT system that was incorrectly sending life-ruining fines to people for not meeting their requirements to apply for so many jobs, accept jobs, etc. whilst on government assistance. The fines came in the form of a judgment debt so people would literally have a debt bailiff show up and start carting their property away. Due to a seriously flawed IT system, th…

What I've heard as a counter to their uselessness is that they function as a sort of legal corporate espionage. You should do this because my other customer that I cant name but I'll just call Mr.Faang is also doing that.

Fast and productive is very different than good . I'd probably agree with a description of AI code as the fast food of code, but I certainly wouldn't call Taco Bell "better" if the wedding caterer showed up with it.

I'm not a fan of "consultants" at all. In my experinance all they ever do is either muck things up by black boxing the thing they were paid to do. Or more often simply leave a huge list of "you should do this" that will be $500k, and then leave.

why was the Albanese changed from the title?
> Anthony _Albanese_ is the name of the current PM of Australia
Which is probably why this Australian publication calls it the 'Albanese Government'. Not to be confused with the government of Albania.

You end up consulting at Deloitte when you can't get into MBB, any of the smaller boutique firms, strategy at big corporations etc. Accountants are an exception but they're only there to pad their resume before exiting to corporate in-house finance roles that lead to CFO positions.
Deloitte is to outsourced business consulting what Infosys is to outsourced software development.
