I've done consulting ..... often it means there's some confusion and/or hesitancy and/or a complicated situation, so they're not ready to jump into a project.
There's nothing wrong with that....
It's also a bit of an honor, as they're not just asking you to give a million pitch meetings (for free) and then tell you they're not ready....
They may be trying to hire you in a bid to figure out things without feeling like they're being exploited, and/or sold whatever a firm may want to sell....
Hiring a single freelance consultant can be CHEAP and WISE, as they're not being pulled into any company's "business agenda"
I once inherited a rather large project developed by a "famous consulting firm" and they had seemed to spend insane amounts of money on all the powerpoint business case docs, lots on the program documentation, but the program itself was a bunch of wizard-generated Microsoft crap with clip-art quality graphics from hell.... long story....
- i agree. it does feel nice that a company wants me to come in and evaluate whats wrong and do my best to fix it.74LEO
