Muppets Consultants have a term for companies like Copper Fox: Muppets.
The consulants work hard to win the project but once they have secured the work and have done enough to make it get hard to be fired off the job, all work stops. Yes, all work stops while they attend to other clients. Yes, there are mad calls from the clients demading the work gets done and at the consultants office there are warnings that "we could get fined". But clients are at their mercy and consultants realize that they rarely get fired.
Nevertheless, shame on Copper Fox for announcing 3 weeks ago that the delay was less than a month when in reality, if they would have had their "high level meetings", any fool would have have seen that the consultant's work was not nearly that progressed (how does less than 1 month of work become more than 5 months of work?). Shameful lack of attentiveness. Shameful.
