My initial reaction to this article was that I disagreed vehemently with most of his points. Upon further reflection, nothing he's talking about is applicable to anywhere I've worked, or anywhere in the industry I work in; so my disagreement doesn't really matter as I guess "consulting companies" apparently means different things to different people. The only issue that presents itself in my industry regarding consulting is that it's basically a linear scaling revenue model, and the pitfalls around scheduling engagements. My company's hourly rates for consulting are now about half of what they were 7 years ago, but it's still both immensely profitable and significantly cheaper than what the client would pay to hire someone to perform the requisite services.
