I'm glad there are six more sins to come. I'd like you to consider the contribution of the consultants as the worst of the sins. Perhaps. You begin by saying that the CEOs know they should "do strategy."

How do they know that? Probably the consultants. I cheer your determination to hang onto the process until it has benefitted someone other than the consultants, but I think a lot of your peers oversell "strategy" at the front end and oversell the necessity of finding "the right consultant" at the front end. And as you said, the only thing at the back end is leaving town.

Great start. I'm ready for the next sin.
