By making use of a design oriented approach this research focused on how client value during a consultancy process can be improved. Consultants can use this solution design to improve their client value during the consultancy process. Client value from a professional B2B service perspective turned out to be a dependent variable of organizational performance. The independent variables that affect this organizational performance are: interpersonal skills, technical skills, customer orientation, innovation and reputation. If consultants want to create more client value in the consultancy process, they should focus on activities that relate to these five elements. The literature review of this study revealed that consultants can undertake the following activities to improve their client value: Explain the client what consultancy knowledge is; Explain the client how the knowledge management process works; Explain the client how you produce knowledge/ the solution for the client. |
