A Dated Legacy
IT consulting is a form of historical of strategic consulting based on its model. In strategic consulting, you have a very high operational requirement, both in terms of content and form, because your interlocutors are CEOs who pay a very high price for very structured advice for the company's future. So you have a certain cult of performance in these companies, with the corollaries that come with it. In this kind of context, nothing must be criticizable, and the best way not to be is either to be perfect, or to have a strong intuition. In other words, strong personalities stifle the silent majority, whether intentionally or unconscious. You can say goodbye to creativity, to audacity, and even to courage. Conservative opinions will be those that are validated, and the credo, "We build you the solutions that are adapted to you" evaporates.
In the end, you have an internal organization very close to and inspired by military organizations, and you realize that the creative visionary has no place.
