Actually, that is a service provided by many consulting firms, but independents seem to be a growing cottage industry, at least to me.

Too soon old, too late smart
What's interesting about the above comment is that indeed, most companies have the in-house expertise to solve the problem. Unfortunately, 'those in power', want an 'expert' to come in, recommend a path, and then exit the relationship. Fewer have the consultant stick around for the implementation (and few consultants want to be around when that happens). Have seen (and have been), the in-house person doing most of the work for the consultant, really giving them the nitty-gritty on the problem. The consultant then writes up the issues, lays out the game plan, and exits to their next gig. And you're absolutely correct, that way management can blame the consultant when the solution goes blooey (technical term). BCG, McKinsey, and a dwindling number of big consulting firms make outrageous sums doing this. Many of these players in the consulting firms do get hired (at VP level or better), to come on board and oversee the implementation of said solutions. Worked at a company (steel mill), where these fuzzy cheeked youngsters were telling the 30 year grizzled veterans 'how to' run their company. Obviously, this rankled the old-timers, and one offhandedly threw out a comment, 'well, we'll see what they say when they get a truckload of steel dropped on them'. Kinda chuckled at the time (I was the company-consultant liaison), but the more I thought about it, the more I believed it. Was hoping for a job offer from consultants, but my Ohio State MBA wasn't the Harvard, Stanford etc level to 'join the club'.

I finished undergrad a million years ago. One of my high school classmates picked his college specifically as it let him finish in three years. And he may have had a handful of AP credits, but nothing like today when you can earn college credits while in high school. He just knew what he wanted and pursued it.3-year college degrees grow more popular in the US, saving time and cash. But critics aren't sold

This doesn't change the billing difference. Also to work, in either Semesters or quarters, you'd have to have full course offerings in the summer. A problem with 9500 kid freshman classes is now you have have the course capacity to throughput those extra kids. My daughter is starting her 3rd year this fall her program is on its 3rd curriculum incarnation and the main driver is the demand fir class seats outweighs their desire to offer the seats. (Its a smaller major so it makes sense to only offer some classes one semester a year, but they take approximately 50 kids a year but some classes only have 30 seats a year. You see the problem.

I did my undergrad degree at Ohio State in three years (Army in between not counted), studying in summer quarters. It was easy to plan around it or go to school part-time and still work and finish in 4 years.
