Exactly that. I work for an agency that was bought by global consulting conglomerate. This gave me insight into the workings at global companies that hire consultancies. At first I really didn't understand why these global companies shelled out this much money for consultants until I understood that more often than not it is the lines of communication these consultants open up. They make it possible for information to flow from one stratified silo into another. For IT to talk to marketing and marketing to talk to product. And so on. Not that I really enjoy the political side and the PowerPoint side of the job, but at least I understood some things better.
