Summary
<p>Dr Rosie Collington is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Organization at the University of Copenhagen. She is the co-author, along with Marianna Mazzucatto, of The Big Con: How the Consulting Industry Weakens our Businesses, Infantilizes our Governments and Warps our Economies. This is a scathing but balanced dive into how the consulting industry rips us off. It also makes a more fundamental point about the role it plays in an era when governments are increasingly hollowed out. We had a really wide-ranging chat about the book and some of the broader questions it raises, including what we do now.</p><br /><p>Originally recorded on 18th June 2024.</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
