In the Principal's office

Do you sometimes feel the client, consultant relationship is a bit skewed?

I recently worked on a project in Manila, for a fairly large size organization. They are in the process of relinquishing control of one of their core assets. I was met by an army of consultants, all working on some work stream.

By the end of the week, we (army of consultants) all got an hour to present our “progress to date”.The consultants were not allowed to sit through all the work streams, and you promtly had to leave after your presentation. I felled a little bit like a school boy, going into the principal’s office.

Luckily the “principal” was pleased with what I presented, and I was spared the cane, or chop. Maybe next time I will ask for candy…
