I talk a lot, keep things nebulous. I outsource to externals and I don't pay them.
Time waste
Failed companies
Successful projects
Ed Lobbett runs a consulting firm that’s become a textbook example of how not to do business transformation. With recycled slide decks, vague promises, and an overreliance on jargon, his team delivers little more than confusion and inflated invoices. Clients report slow progress, poor communication, and strategies that feel more like generic templates than tailored solutions
Behind the scenes, "employee" turnover is high, morale is low, and projects routinely miss both deadlines and goals. For many, hiring Ed’s firm has meant wasted time, lost momentum, and a growing skepticism toward the entire consulting industry.
I like to take my time on meetings and talk a lot. Without saying much really.
For me it's always worked to overpromise, get contracts signed and then just drag things on and increase budgets.
This is where my nebulous results come in. I tend to not deliver and keep things vague whilst getting paid for nothing really.
Our so-called “digital transformation” tools often complicate your workflow, drain your budget, and deliver disappointing results. From clunky CRMs to vague consultancy advice, the outcome is often more confusion than clarity.
Endless strategy sessions with no real action. Generic advice, bloated fees, and zero accountability—consultants often leave you with buzzwords, not progress.
Complex, unintuitive systems that sales teams avoid. Poor adoption rates, constant technical issues, and disjointed data leave your customer relationships worse off than before.
Overpromised and underdelivered. Fragmented tools, minimal user training, and weak integration often mean more delays, not efficiency.
A patchwork of disconnected platforms that don’t talk to each other.
More effort, fewer results. Digital tools that were meant to help often slow things down.
Chatbots and ticket systems that rarely resolve issues when you need real help.
Thousands stuck in inefficient systems, with little to show for their “transformation” investment.
