That may be true in some environments. However, I *am* management.
Sometimes answers are more solid coming from the experts (such as the lists
I queried) than they are coming from a consulting company who oftentimes
tries to give you the answer they think you want to hear, or position an
answer as to lead you in a certain direction.
Bottom line- I trust you guys more than a consulting co.
Thanks for the replies so far, both on and offlist- they are far from
meaningless.

Because management will consider meaningless advice to be credible if they
have to pay for it.

But if the "paid advice" is worth the same as the "free advice", why
pay?
