Nice article but clickbait headline. 20 yr veteran of Microsoft Consulting. Nothing even close to shocking here. Surprised it even made the news. The consulting group is not even close to being strategic. The group is a gnat on the hands of Microsoft. There have been times they seriously explored selling the unit. They have no real standing inside the organization. As regards cutting the marketing budget. Have you ever seen an ad or commercial for Microsoft consulting? Neither have I.
