    Whats the point of paying for this report if they cant even be bothered to do it. Mistakes in a 425,000 government report are unacceptable. This is what we are basing years of policy off it needs to be rock solid information. In a sane world the NZ government would never contract them again.

    My experience is that management consultants love AI; they're oddly blind to it compared to other professions, and they're the first to start using it everywhere. The immediate surface appearance of quality is catnip to them.

    This should make everyone even more suspicious of the management consultancies claiming to employ the smartest people in the world.

    Consultancies are under a direct threat from AI, so they are weirdly trying to over-embrace it in a hope that that will save them somehow.

      I wouldn't say they're at threat from AI. Consultancies are most of the time there to partially offload work from the main company, and also to serve as someone to blame when something does not go well. It's rarely about the content itself.

        Interestingly they never seem to suffer when they get blamed for their shoddy work. I guess it's free advertising "use us as a third party to blame for terrible decisions and bad data"

        Yup, they are often just Accountability Sinks.
