This strip accurately describes the nexus between the corporate managers and highly paid consultants. The PHBs neither understand the problems nor the solutions. To look good inside the company and to win favors outside (to ensure their next job) they hire external consultants. The people who truly understand the problems and can solve them are often hidden under layers of management.
