Consulting

Partners in consulting firms grow client revenues through increasing the services the firm provides and by gaining new clients. This growth is not usually a direct result of the expertise provided to clients. Other valued services add to the range of solutions that assist clients in managing and growing their business.

The Competitive Advantage Accelerator is used by consulting practices to advance business development skills. Using industry benchmarks, it provides personalized high value actions and 'watch outs' across eight key areas. Group data is also available to deliver insights for service lines and client teams.
