" Unfortunately, when academic ideals meet business realities, business realities usually win. Businesses are full of real people, with real strengths and weaknesses and limitations. These people can do only so much with the finite resources available in their organizations. Some things they just cannot do, whether for political reasons, lack of resources or inability.
As a consultant, you bear the responsibility for knowing the limitations of your client; if your client is your own employer—or your own business—that responsibility is doubled. Knowing those limitations, you must make sure that any recommendations you make fit within them. "
