@GergelyOrosz You’re thinking in terms of organizations. But McKinsey and other consultancies never get brought in by organizations, but always individuals.
“Open Secret”.
It’s about as secret as those Cables after Assange.
A lot of consulting projects only are put together because someone, somewhere needs a liability sponge for his (let’s be honest here: his) career to advance.
I talked to a few ex-McKinsey folks after our response with @KentBeck on McKinsey’s software dev claims got traction.
An open secret in these groups:
Customers often pay $$$ to McKinsey so McKinsey “formalizes” what they already want to do, but now they can point to McKinsey.
We're very happy to support Germany's CERTBund by enabling them to search all German government domains free and on demand via @haveibeenpwned. This now makes the 35th national government to take up the service https://t.co/b9cDAqlGwJ
NEW: Jan Marsalek, the fugitive COO of disgraced company Wirecard, wasn't just behind Germany's biggest financial fraud in history. @InsiderEng can now reveal he was also a GRU agent for a decade. https://t.co/zYqlDL3YoW
Two things we keep getting consistently wrong:
1⃣ Vastly overestimating future coal demand
2⃣ Massively underestimating future generation of solar PV

While the power of computers has dramatically increased the past 40 years, the general public's uses for computers has dramatically decreased in ambition and creativity.
I’m not debating Slack has far more features, needs less maintenance (none for infra), checks important compliance boxes etc.
Them - and other SaaS solutions with self-hosted alternatives - might need to get better at making it clear what additional stuff you get vs self-hosting
It’s still baffling to me how underutilized LinkedIn data is, given how rich the graph should be. But instead you get a feed of corporate influencers instead of tools to query your network.
@davidgsIoT Yeah, I remember when my team tried to use some of it even 5 years ago. They were *not* happy about it.
And as I understand the locks on scraping have gone up precariously as well.
@inthecompanyof which really is a shame. It could be a really interesting tool to -ahem- facilitate better connections in business, but instead has turned into the same social media dynamics as every other platform.
I’m currently looking at a company with 1.5k employees. About 200 are 2nd degree connections. But there is no way to find the most robust intermediaries to senior people at this firm.
With a graph database on the backend, this should be a no-brainer, LI doesn’t expose it.
