As scape goats. John Oliver did a piece on Mackensie recently: https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DAiOUojVd6xQ&ved=2ahUKEwjbwJqTmaaDAxXiPEQIHW_NDGsQwqsBegQIDxAG&usg=AOvVa https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DAiOUojVd6xQ&ved=2ahUKEwjbw... w0N9I7Chg83d0utMHc4ijJU I've been through several of these engagements from the inside. They're usually hired so the leader who is about to be fired (whether they know or not). Then when they get fired or it goes south they can just say they were doing what the expert consultants told them to do.

This isn't really all that different from the stated purposes of consulting businesses: they're often hired to be a disinterested third party with relevant expertise to make decisions/take actions that whomever hired them might be deemed too biased and/or too incompetent (in the relevant area of expertise) to make.
