Next step: hire a consultant to figure out how to consult less.

Government consultant here. The federal government does nothing if it is not military related or medical care in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Everything they produce is done via contract. That includes leadership which is queued up using consulting. Sure, they make the decisions but that's not management or the visionary leadership people think it is. It's all contract management.
