Yes, but they don't come cheap. Accenture, McKinsey, Deloitte and IBM are well respected. I don't know how unbiased IBM will be, but that's just an uneducated guess.

All the ones you mentioned will take your money and tell you what you want to hear!
The predecessor of Accenture, Arthur Andersen & Company, had a good trick.
They would tell the client that they need a new IT Manager, put in one of their IT Consulting managers whom they know they will never promote to partner in that slot, and would milk the client for all he is worth.

Not in my opinion. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I take it you are in the company you want checked?
If so why cant you do this yourself? There are various metrics for code and processes, and hence the employees abilities at all levels. CRM, ISO etc

Or, perhaps OP wants to start a business and has now found there is a niche for honest consultants.

... that's exactly the same as every other website.
Just came across this and thought some of the web developers on here might enjoy.

heh. Yup, I'm sick to death of seeing the same cr@ppy "horizontal slide" site. It's nice to learn I'm not alone.

I manage a bunch of websites (volunteer work) and for a district level organization. It's totally hand crafted (html/css/php/javascript). I was informed, somewhat politely, that it looks "old fashioned" and I should use a modern look, like those in WordPress.
So my site would should look like everyone else's. That's not going to happen.
It must be a generational thing.

I was Shanghaied into governing a chunk of Geocities, back in the day. I spent far too much of my time explaining to far too many people that a black background, unstoppable boring music, and a stupid, sparkley cursor didn't in any way make up for a lack of content.

I think Bootstrap has a place for a run-of-the-mill sites, but still... I found that funny because it's soooooo true.

It is good to focus on content like every f***ing book ever looks the same.
For artistic sites and promoting the product and things like that they can use the unique design.

Two things:
1. From the point of view of the end user the same look and feel is good, so Bootstrap has it place...
2. We use Bootstrap - as idea - in our new project, but you can not tell, just by looking at it. So even with Bootstrap, you can create different sites - if you are really a designer and not a 'so called'...

Great article!
Uncle Bob said: It's time to simply get down to work.
We need to choose a language, or two, or three. A small set of simple frameworks. Build up our tools. Solidify our processes.
Exactly. I just had this discussion with someone, explaining that the Real Agile (not the one that exists differently in every single mind acquainted with it) actually works. But, I'm sure I'll get all kinds of replies to that.
Do the work!
