The traditional fee-for-service consulting model has been in places for ever, but how well is this model working for the 21st century?
Despite consulting being an essential resourcing model for many important digital projects, the model is rarely questioned.
In this presentation, we challenge the existing assumptions about consulting, point out some of the common problems that are inherent within the traditional approach, and propose some solutions to those problems that could create win-win situations for both consultants and those that need to recruit them.
