Consultants are often engaged to help a company when specific expertise is required. For that engagement to be a success, it is vital that the engaging company ensures that the scope of the work is defined and that the consultant does not end up doing other things that should be done by operational resources. Without this level of control, the engagement can and does end in failure.

Hi Barney, I often work where my payments are largely results based. This is more lucrative, gives me a competitive advantage and I enjoy working in this way. However it’s not a good idea for many companies for many of the reasons that you mentioned above. In scoping out projects, other points for me are: Where is the business now, what evidence exists to support this and how was it measured? Where does the business need/want to go, what evidence is there that this is possible how will it be measured? Getting many businesses even big ones to measure ROI is often one of the hardest tasks I find, great share.
