> That looks like three deeper problems than the consultants were tasked to solve.
No, this is exactly the reason the consultants were hired. Not to solve the cultural problems, but to work the broken process. It's not really in the consultants interest to solve the cultural problems anyway, because it drives repeat business.
Very often it's yet another consulting company proving to their clients that the big cultural change they are suggesting needs to be done.
There is big money in doing that too - you gain a client for life if you're successful, and you get to recommend all your friends in Professional Services companies who give you a cut/forward strategy business your way.
