This isn’t a question about whether we need consulting as a service – I, for one, can’t envisage a world in which organisations don’t look for some type of help from the outside.  It’s one about whether such services need to be delivered by the collective entity of people which constitutes a consulting firm.

In the course of researching our report on the 2013 Brazil consulting market, we stumbled upon (and immediately fell in love with) the term “chicken flight” – an evocative little phrase Brazilians use to describe their economy’s unfortunate cycle of noisy take-offs followed by clumsy crashes. There’s just so much in it, from the truly winning visual to the realization that, wow, it really must happen a lot if they have a name for it. It’s certainly some of the best economic shorthand we’ve heard.
