A few days ago, I wrote that big consulting companies could be in trouble if Elon Musk’s DOGE (department of government efficiency) continues its acceleration in the public sector America: “I wonder how some of these firms will thrive, especially those tethered to the public sector, if this Musk-Trump playbook continues. DOGE is providing a case study that may hurt the prospects of these companies for years. Yes, if DOGE does this and it works, a template is born, and if you dig deeper, the public sector has disintermediated the works of big play consulting firms.”
Now, the business prophecy is here: ‘Executives at 10 of the largest U.S. consulting firms, including Ernst & Young and Booz Allen, are scrambling to arrange meetings with White House officials to justify their contracts…The meetings come ahead of this Friday’s deadline to cut the General Services Administration’s budget and has prompted firms to “defend the spend” by presenting detailed assessments of their projects. The firms are seeking to preserve lucrative revenue streams amid the growing push to eliminate non-essential government contracts.’
Good People, Trump is crashing all the parties.
