Market conditions

There’s something strange happening in the Nordics.

Let’s have some fun.  Let’s take two firms – I’m going to call them Firm A and Firm B, but regular readers of our blog can amuse themselves by trying to work out who’s who.  They’re not selected at random, though: these firms have something important to tell us a lot about the US consulting market as a whole.

The last time I was in Dubai it rained.  And I’m not talking about the desultory drizzle which you get sometimes.  It poured.  For an entire day.  Weather London would be proud of.  And it was clearly a shock to systems other than just mine.  Dubai roads, I discovered, don’t have drains (Why would they?  There’s usually nothing worth draining); they also don’t have a camber, so rain lay where it fell – which was all over the place.  Hazardous and unfamiliar driving conditions resulted in more than 600 accidents that day on the main road between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
