    Does anyone know of a genuinely qualified consulting company in the US which can come into a company and offer an unbiased, valid opinion on code, processes and employees? I'm not talking about a company intent on taking over the code, they would clearly be biased, but rather a company that can give a no-BS assessment.

          Actually, I'd probably go with that. A CP regular who has proven abilities and knowledge in the hand is worth more than two morons up to their eyeballs in marketing bull.

            Yes, but they don't come cheap.  Accenture, McKinsey, Deloitte and IBM are well respected.  I don't know how unbiased IBM will be, but that's just an uneducated guess. /ravi

                All the ones you mentioned will take your money and tell you what you want to hear! The predecessor of Accenture, Arthur Andersen & Company, had a good trick. They would tell the client that they need a new IT Manager, put in one of their IT Consulting managers whom they know they will never promote to partner in that slot, and would milk the client for all he is worth.

                    I take it you are in the company you want checked? If so why cant you do this yourself? There are various metrics for code and processes, and hence the employees abilities at all levels. CRM, ISO etc

                          Or, perhaps OP wants to start a business and has now found there is a niche for honest consultants.
