How often have you seen consulting job descriptions that contain things like "10 years of health claims processing experience required" ? Ever thought that it sounded like a bunch of crap?
Well I sure do. So I got my smart friends on the line and asked them, is domain or industry specific knowledge REALLY necessary in the consulting industry? Or is it possible that any half-decent consultant could figure out what they needed to know?
Surprise. We didn't all agree.

Episode 24: The 2019 Christmas Special!

We saw the need for some direct talk about some of the topics we’re encountering in daily work as business and technology practitioners. This is everything you wanted to know... the REAL deal... about consulting. We talk about the stuff that our clients care about and that consultants everywhere deal with every day.

This podcast is about business, people, technology and the intersection of the three.
