A private message I received says IBMers were all required to take online courses in AI and ChatGPT, and suggests that this might be the basis for the claim that everyone in the world has "expertise". I'm still suspicious of "65,000 consultants". I called that "a quarter of IBM" because I see numbers around 280K for worldwide IBM employee count, and I just can't believe that that (a) there are still anywhere near that many consultant positions after the Kyndryl spinoff and (b) even if there are still a ton of consultants, that it's 1:3 consultant:<the rest> where <the rest> has to include sales/support/dev/admin/financial/etc. I've worked for a lot of vendors, and with the possible exception of tiny shops where the founder is the main sales rep AND the lead developer AND goes onsite to do the installs, I don't think a quarter of any of those companies has ever been consultants, or in most cases even consultants+developers. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Monday, November 18, 2024 11:30 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: What can this mean?
