Well, a frequent theme is the failure to adapt to the company culture. Consultants often come in with their own set of practices and don't consider how it will fit into the existing culture of the client's organization. This can lead to resistance from employees and ultimately the failure of the consulting project. Additionally, cost overruns are common. Consultants may underestimate the resources needed, whether it's time or money, and the client ends up paying way more than expected. And of course, there's the issue of using cookie - cutter solutions instead of customized ones for the specific business.

Sure. There was a case where a consulting firm was hired to upgrade a company's IT infrastructure. They promised a seamless transition, but it was a complete nightmare. They underestimated the complexity of the existing systems and the amount of data that needed to be migrated. As a result, there were days of system outages, lost data, and a huge financial loss for the company due to the downtime and having to fix all the mess the consultants made.
It depends. Story telling can be a powerful tool in consulting, but it might not fully replace marketing. Marketing often involves a broader set of strategies and tactics to reach and engage the target audience.
