- How many consultants does it take to change a lightbulb?
- It depends -- how much money is in your budget...?
- None. A consultant would recommend replacing the light fixture.
- None. Consultants don't know how to do anything; they can just tell you how you should do it.
- That's difficult to say. First, we need to
- do a study to see if you really need light in that area,
- determine historically why the light burned out, and
- an analysis to determine whether it's the right kind of light anyway.
- Then, maybe, we can recommend appropriate action -- although we may need to do additional studies to determine the light sensitivity of employees visiting the area.
- After that, we can: develop RFPs and RFQs,
- evaluate the abilities of various maintenance workers to perform the task,
- recommend personnel selection, and
- supervise the activity.
