In the ideal scenario, consultants work for a board, and they're helping the board check on certain aspects of management. Their work is made public and transparent.
A consultant is someone who saves his client almost enough to pay his fee.
If you need to take a step back from day-to-day operations and plot out the long-term direction of your user experience strategy, consultants can give you a perspective you can't get on your own.
We don't use consultants at Landry's. We're our consultants.
