I once heard someone say that if you want to be a high-priced prostitute, go into management consulting. This seems to be a case in point.
If the fellow ever gets questioned about his judgement with Cyclone, he'll just say that he delivered a winning turnaround plan, and it's not his fault management didn't implement it.
Step one of his plan no doubt was to get product to market. And who can argue with that? Heck, Frankie has been crowing for years about her "new" business model, that Cyclone would start selling working engines and everything would be peachy.
The consultant's due diligence didn't need to go any further than making sure he would get paid up front.
Now, I wonder what ever happened to that person whose "forte is engineeirng" who was going to tell us how ceramic ball bearings would solve all of Cyclone's technical problems? Feels like we're due for another round of misinformation.
