AI Analysis

Title: "Consultant Speak"

Summary:

This 'Dilbert' comic strip humorously highlights the often incomprehensible nature of consultant-speak. The conversation revolves around a consultant's recommendation to reorganize the company to strengthen its core competency. However, the consultant's definition of core competency is "giving money to consultants," leading to a sarcastic remark about the company's competence. The strip pokes fun at the tendency for consultants to use jargon and vague terminology to justify their fees, leaving clients wondering if they're truly getting value for their money.
