[QUOTE="rups, post: 223538, member: 7787"] [I]there has to be some bright minds who posess UPS knowledge and valuable insight.[/I] UPS IS is loaded with bright minds sharing their knowledge and insights with the organization. These people need to be identified, rewarded and given the resources needed to grow the business. [I] Their job, as on-site IBM consultant does so well, is to to extract money out of UPS's hands and put it into their's (IBM's) [/I] I'm not so sure about this one. The UPS mindset that "consultants are evil" shows company norm that is outdated and unfortunate for UPSers who want to get the stock moving again. Consultants should be hired to provide a unique and specialized skill set to fill a temporary need. That skill set will often require a premium price often but at the same time, UPS is saved the expenses mentioned earlier - stock, benefits, salaries, vacation, etc. Out of curiosity, do you perform your own dental work? I would guess no because you most likely engage the temporary services of a person with a specialized skill set that requires a premium price - your dentist. Maybe we use consultants for their specialized services a little more than we realize... medical services, auto repair, cafeteria services, day care, dry cleaning, etc. Consulting is nothing new and has many advantages when used correctly. It's up to UPSers to learn how to strategically hire and utilize consultants as business partners. [/QUOTE]
