BAD: Deloitte Sponsorship
Just days after blasting UHIP consultant Deloitte, Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo spoke at a conference in California sponsored by Deloitte. We paid them a lot of money, we didn’t get what we paid for, Raimondo said at the time of Deloitte s involvement in the UHIP debacle. And they represented to us that it was in much better shape than in fact it was: defective functionality, incomplete interfaces, engines that still aren’t working.
Days later, Raimondo was en route to headline the Deloitte-sanctioned event. Deloitte is not paying for any of the travel, said Raimondo spokesperson David Ortiz. She had already committed to be at the event, and was able to have a private conversation with the CEO of Deloitte Consulting, who committed to being in regular communication with the Governor.
