Yes, having many consultants is relevant because consultants are supposed to be experts in their field and procure large amounts of imformation, advocating for or againts certain decisions. High-level oficials or just people responsible for decisions affecting communities or organization, are supposed to review a lot of factors, while it is nearly impossible to do alone. The main advantage of multiple consultants is that they have different opinions. When everyone agrees, they may fail to see the potential threat. Besides, advisors can also create resilience plans.

Thought is good...For organisation its cost cutting approach and for consultant also its opportunity to associate. The question comes on commitment level of each...As a consultant you have a limited say always as compared to employee..It all depends on the nature of work and assignment. Consultant in world over looked as a advisor, mentor , guiding principle,etc.. its the organisation which looks at the strategy and hunger which cherrypics what it wants and time based.
