The ultimate matrix driven by sales lacking delivery excellence
Pros: Strong mix of assets (companies) to contribute to solutions, but requires negotiating labrynth structure and siloed operating model. Very good willing personnel peppered around he organization but they are hampered by lack of teamwork metrics. Strong brand name carries weight undeservedly with clients.
Cons: Siloed operating model creates havoc at clients, pits divisions against each other, and encourages "me first" lack of teamwork. Collaboration across divisions is forced at best. Consulting personnel are not up to standards of Big 4. Lack of depth in key skill set areas cause true SME experts to be spread too thin. High turnover of talented staff who get fed up with politics. Key managers are those who play politics the best as key skill.
