It seems to me, in layman’s terms, that #Universtiy Councils which rely on #consultants for support is as much an admission of the Councellors’ lack of competency as it is evidence of their ineptitude to fulfill the roles they have been appointed to. Ergo, the primary salve to University woes is major reforms to Councellor appointments and remuneration as well as Council composition. There are obviously cases where hiring consultants to undertake specialised and specific work which cannot be performed (for valid reasons) by University staff and public service, though these ought to be fully transparent to staff and students alike.

😂 A friend of mine (who's been consulting for way longer than me) got hit with a holy-trinity of demands from a potential client this week.

1. They approached her for a website for their business.
2. They won't do down-payments (start for free).
3. They want complete copyright ownership of code from day one and she works on their org's github pushing code (IP ownership before payment).
4. They quoted her last year's currency conversion rates when she said USD.
5. They won't allow her to showcase the final public facing website on her portfolio.
6. No deemed acceptance clause.

That's got to be a record right? 😭

Das kann man sich also gleich sparen und den "Auftrag" an die Consultingfirma in einen KI-Prompt werfen. Das Ergebnis ist wohl oftmals auch gleich "gut". 🤷

@vrtnws teveel tussenpersonen die een graantje meepikken en #hebzucht van #consultants met onkunde is een tweede factor. #Cegeka heeft me gecontacteerd met letterlijke woorden. "Het is een overheidsproject, lange duur en geld is geen issue". Ik heb afgewezen omdat het woord "overheid" genoemd werd. Maar kijk de ingehuurde #crisismanagers moeten ook bewijzen dat ze nuttig zijn, dus er zal wel wat naarboven komen 😅😅😅 1600 euro per dag is mogelijks nog te laag voor een crisimanager. Lol

Een flop van grote proportie bij de #digitalisering voor #Belgische politie en justitie en ze zijn niet de enigen die in de val lopen van #consultants die hoog van de toren blazen en poen scheppen. Het is zijn niet de beste technologieen, beste ideeen en beste werknemers die gepresenteerd worden, maar vooral degene die het hardst roepen.En spijtig genoeg getuigd hard roepen van gebrek aan kennis, inzicht en teamspirit.
