• How many consultants does it take to change a lightbulb?

  1. It depends -- how much money is in your budget...?

  2. None. A consultant would recommend replacing the light fixture.

  3. None. Consultants don't know how to do anything; they can just tell you how you should do it.

  4. That's difficult to say. First, we need to
     1. do a study to see if you really need light in that area,
     2. determine historically why the light burned out, and
     3. an analysis to determine whether it's the right kind of light anyway.
     4. 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.
     5. After that, we can: develop RFPs and RFQs,
     6. evaluate the abilities of various maintenance workers to perform the task,
     7. recommend personnel selection, and
     8. supervise the activity.
