Some consultant! The idea is to be able to charge a high rate for your
people because they are superior. It costs a bit more to educate and keep
them, sure, but the consultancy ought to be able to more than recoup that
in their higher fees. Clients are not usually impressed when their own
staff have to educate the consultants they're paying for (and neither are
the client's staff for that matter).
