> Anyone who criticizes McKinsey has no idea how consulting, or real companies, or the real world, works. LOL. I'll tell you how it would go if you brought in a consultant for a library. The consultant would produce the most beautiful wire-frame UI you ever seen, with lots of arrows, buttons and stuff. It would organize all books in a neat table by title, author, publishing date, etc. Then at go-live, you'll realize the table is all funked up because "JK Rowling", "J.K. Rowling" and "J. K. Rowling" are all listed as different authors. Let the behind schedule and over-budget fun begin. Whereas, if you asked the nice old lady who's been a librarian for 30 years, she would have told you to start with a table of authors first and then build up to the UI from there, not in reverse.
