Heh. I have seen some of that, and actually suggested to one of my
consulting clients that they consider diversifying into this application
domain. I suspect that one "dream team" would have a mix of domain
experts, people who understand the legacy/contemporary software systems
and history, a couple top architects/gurus, and solid software engineers
and human factors engineers who are sharp and flexible enough to work
within the framework that the architects/gurus lead.
(I separate out architects/gurus for this particular field because there
seems to be a need to shake things up right now with technical
direction. However, I *don't* mean an antiquated chief programmer
model, which I think led many to view software development as top-down
management of clerical workers, especially in corporate MIS-like shops,
and which I suspect has been a big contributor to many gazillion-dollar
IT failures.)
