Executives hire consultants either to execute some project they dont wanna hire someone for or because they want someone to blame for tough/unpopular decisions

Duh-loitte came to see us once. Charged us a million for a glossy powerpoint brief full of bad ideas the boss intended to run with (even before they showed up).

A brain is simply too important to waste!

Consultant: We have plenty of experience with bananas they taste yellow.

Is this a sitcom or a lecture?

and according to Forest Gump, his partner Lt. Dan invested in some fruit company named "Apple" and said Forest will never have to worry about his finance again.

Blackrock and Vanguard...

Consultants are destroying video games with their marxist bullshit and bashing fans of said product they work for

Wise words.

Where can we find the full lecture ?

interesting

Consultants are how some managers show they tried their best.

That's why most pf the consultants now start their own ventures after 5-7 years of work experience

Hahaha, wooo, yeah

Consultants are the most useless of all the business professions

coming from a veteran entrepreneur tuned financial consultant, I couldn't agree more Jobs, a big problem with consultants is they never have to deal with the consequences of their dissensions, thus often don't give value for money.

So, so true!

yeah even really smart people can still have stupid takes on things.

This opinion is one-sided. This advise is useful to a particular type of people. Remember, an advise even from great people is just that. Nothing more. There are many circumstances where consultancy is beneficial and there are those where it's redundant. Nothing is black and white like Jobs portrayed it.

Audience thinks there at a comedian show .. laughing at everything he said

Surprised there's no comments talking about his genius innuendo references throughout entire analogy (and very end of video) 😂

Experience always prevails over aptitude or potential. Consulting are professional hatchet men that are used as stamps of approval for key decisions made by managers and ceos who already know what has to be done.

Respect to anyone who got into this room. This guy was pure gold.

he reminds me of my arab uncle😅

It's a Tamil proverb "a bottle gourd drawn in a paper is not edible" 😂😂

Billion dollar global insight for real life, movie, anime, or thesis to feedback to management and max profits. In ancient times, the King who “own” the empire, consult advisors, prime ministers and ministers who don’t “own” the nation. 当局者迷，旁观着清。The first consulting company established by Arthur Dehon Little in 1886. A plethora of consulting companies exist today. If there isn’t a demand, then there wouldn’t exist supply. If Steve Jobs didn’t peep, I mean “consult” from certain labs or Japan, perhaps we don’t have Apple today. If I’m sociopathic and like the boys, I just leech intel off each app and offer nothing (comments) in return. What kinds of values do I have that motivate me to give and get no financial rewards in return? How am I different from others? Memento Mori.

I share these sentiments about consulting firms. You really need to get your hands very dirty before you start consulting. As an experience IT veteran of 30+ years, I've contracting consulting firms many times for very specific aspects of our roadmap. However, I've learnt not to use them for strategy, stakeholder interviews, or continuous improvement. To do these well, I think that you need to understand the ethos and culture of an organization. Without experiencing this firsthand, you have never "tasted" the organization.

idiots clapping as a learned man calls them out, there you have it-- consultants

Maybe the 3rd dimension of consulting is best practice. Humans can only truly perceive things in 3 dimensions, so if you argue a consultant can’t see the depth of your world - what are you missing in theirs ?

A baguette holder made in China. This is globalization.

Why did everyone start laughing when Jobs said "Where are the rest of you from" 🤨

straight yapping xD

wow steve looks so different when he has hair

Its like saying consultants are academics? All theory no real world experiences. But the fact is most of the time good consultants do come from a background of working in real functioning companies but no longer want to be in that type of environment anymore, or maybe their are tired of the companies toxic no life balance situation and just wanted to live a life they find fulfilling and not just their to achieve the masters or CEOs goals. so i think this is a little bit of over generalization… those who like apples can eat them, those who do not can eat other fruits but doesn’t mean he never tasted apples just saying 😅

Not his best speach

That’s tremendous how this guy speaks literally nothing and the crowd still applauds him.

I can't think of any good reason for Jobs to be invited to speak at MIT. He has no education. If Wozniak had picked any random person off the street to be his partner, the results would have been the same. RIP Steve Jobs.

As an engineer who was an employee and now transitioning to a consultant, I really disagree with this. You learn so much more as a consultant, and give so much more value to your clients and the companies that hire/work with you. The experience as a consultant makes you more professional by far. You are invited to tackle the most hard problems, fix the hardest most interesting issues, and you do take ownership for the long term and keep connections with your clients as well. They just will not call you to solve Trivial problems. So you get to work all the time on the biggest interesting projects. There is also no cap to promotion and status... No one will tell me I can't do this or that, because my title is an engineer and not an architect, and I don't mess with politics like that. I give the value to the customer to the extent of my skill, knowledge and talent. I can be he's CTO and chief architect for 2 months essentially without the title, if my skills are to match, there is no inner organisation political barrier. This is probably the worst most wrong advice, I've ever heard. P.S I'm a software engineer, I'm not making PowerPoints slides, I design and create solutions, and implement them.

he spoke like 100 words most of this was people just nervously giggling and clapping because ooooh it's steve jobs

I’m a consultant. I’ve never been afraid of a some turtleneck dude at work (eg Steve Jobs). Mainly because people who are jerks get transferred/cycled out continuously.

i wish the crowd didnt cut him off here

why do the people laugh all the time?

Steve Jobs independently articulating Mary’s room…. interesting

Shots fired

As Nassim Taleb would say "Skin in the Game"

Bananas and peaches were intentional 🤣
