"The Big Con argues that clients often do not get the best outcomes from consultancies...this reliance stunts innovation, compromises accountability, & even impedes climate action...An effective, important & highly readable book" Great review from @TheIET
A very important paper using data from 120 NHS hospital trusts: "High levels of use of consulting services in the past are linked to greater use in the future despite no efficiency gains." Academic literature on consulting is rich - hope to bring it to the fore with The Big Con!
Spending Saturday afternoon playing this beautiful new narrative RPG game set in the Danish village of Tinglev during the Nazi occupation & designed by a wonderful friend & soul @shalev_moran & @PortaPlay @DONTNOD_Ent 🫶🏻 Can’t recommend enough ✨ [link] @NME
