this is said somewhat cheekily. i consider myself an IBMer but my loyalty only goes as far as it’s reciprocated.

i just wish (in the IBM Consulting organization) we spent more effort on scoping, sizing, and staffing projects correctly. this is the long-term (sustainable) solution to increasing profitability. the focus seems to be on whip-the-developers / short-term solution for short-term increasing profitability.
