Where’s the Consultant? Someone has to take the blame.
Writing as one who used to be part of a Engineering Consultancy, I can confirm that we all attended a five-day training session on how to avoid even mentioning the word ‘blame’, never mind accepting the tiniest portion of that dreaded term. Special emphasis was placed, during the extensive training periods, on the ability to point at everyone else, both associated with the project; or not.
