Third generation expensive consultant here. Clients don't pay you for your time, they pay you for theirs. There's a level of abstraction in orgs that you need to be able to navigate and influence. The Twitter hire I get, it's strategic. Man, we all got old.

Consultants are often hired to sign-off on decisions already made but impossible communicate as such without causing internal division.

Absolutely this.
One of my friends runs a market research firm that works for big retailers. She says 90% of their work is about producing evidence for the decisions that have already been taken - so they can be implemented without causing complaints.
