Hmmm... Apparently.
So effectively an "expert consultant" was brought in to "streamline" the workflow. And the one-time investment paid rich dividends. Interesting... :-)
Q5. So in your experience, how true is the analogy in IT companies?
Does hiring an external consultant to improve the workflow often result in actual "process improvements" for the better?...
- iolothebard 11y agoIf you hire the right person and actually implement what they're showing as improvements. It's why I left my current job. Hired me as IT Director. I fixed all the nonsense development (cowboy) and got everything going the right direction. The owner doesn't give a shit, he just overloaded all the IT processes I setup and we're back to where we were almost. Since I put in my notice, the developers have gone back to the old hacking shit together way. So yes, a consultant (or anyone) given the ability to streamline workflow can fix something. Now will that work going forward, only time will tell due to all the external pressures/factors that go into both the scenario in the post and in any IT dept I've ever worked in.
