They sell executive immunity.
If you have a tough call to make as a C level you pay one of the 'big four' to come in with their powerpoints and offer a solution.
I'm highly skeptical of the value of these 'young' MBAs as well. Especially given an important detail, they never stick around to reap what they sow. i.e. They never actually gain the experience of a decision.
They are almost like professional academics in that sense, which would also explain their worship for MBAs
- harperlee 6y agoMinor nitpick: big 3 strategy consultants (MBB: McKinsey Boston Bain), big 4 auditors (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG). Big 4 also does strategy consulting but they are not the prototypical executive immunity sellers. Big 4 typically has more down to earth / implementation experience due to commanding lower prices and thus ability to stick for longer in a sustainable way (what you complain about). Disclaimer: I have worked a lot on at least one of those 7.
