Mooie bespreking #thebigcon door @kustawbessems van #rosiecollington en #marianamazzucato in #deVolkskrant vanmorgen. Over de overheidsafhankelijkheid van consultants.

Such a great book from #marianamazzucato #RosieCollington. Laugh-out-loud-tragic regarding how the public sector has got itself so dependent on management consultants, with time-and-time-again such an absence of value. #thebigcon

"Collington and #Mazzucato have provided a meticulously researched anatomy of an industry not widely understood by those outside it...and they have outlined the stakes for the future in no uncertain terms."
