Putting independent consultants at a financial disadvantage is resulting in the best ones leaving organisations and causing significant damage to projects.
Experienced consultants are often parachuted into more junior roles to provide the experience to get the job done. If they end up being paid the same as far less experienced staff they wont take up the roles in the first place and companies will suffer and damage the UK economy.
