My 2c as an ACN alumni... the author's conclusion could as such be extended to the entire consulting industry. There are three reasons this does not hold though:
- consultants are bound by strict NDAs
- the client hires me because of my experience in the field (which includes competitors) and needs to live with the fact that I'll carry that experience with me
- if the client didn't want me to carry my experience with me from their project, he'd need to pay me for the rest of my days for just doing nothing
- laurenceputra 16y agoeven if they are bound by NDA's they can still use what they know to make decisions for the new client.
- ggeorgovassilis 16y agoHello Laurenceputra, If that particular knowledge contributes to a clearer image about how the industry works, then yes, you (as a consultant) can use that knowledge. If however that particular knowledge is classified, then you won't. If you were to divulge such classified information the client might ask himself what you would do with what is in your head once you leave the project...
