It depends on the context. In all of the discussions I've had on this topic, the quality people are concerned with is the performance of a company as an investment. In that sense, consulting does not scale. Sure, you can build a big, mildly profitable, consulting company, but that isn't very interesting to most folks.
- cbsmith 3y ago> In that sense, consulting does not scale. Again, I believe you are presuming an exponential scale. Yes, if you invest in a consulting business, the rate of return isn't likely to grow exponentially, but it will grow, and it's entirely possible profits will grow proportionately with the investment. Saying a business doesn't scale, from an investment perspective, means that the business can't leverage the investment to increase profits. That's certainly true of some businesses, and certainly true of some consulting businesses, but observably not true for any sector Fortune 500's are in.
