Abstract


This IDC study assesses the vendor performance of business consulting services providers worldwide. Business consulting providers are all well accustomed to partnering with their clients and have developed a great many techniques, training designs, points of view, and practices for working with their clients. Where partnering becomes difficult for clients and providers is in managing this partnership as the phases and dynamics of projects change. Providers and clients must communicate about the reasoning, manner, and approach of their partnership for the best results. At times, partnership requires collaboration and others more direct provider control to succeed. As conditions shift and partnering styles change, the best business consultancies are clear and compassionate in moving to new ways of working.

"Choosing a business consulting provider partner to collaborate with to produce transformational outcomes is not easy. When determining the best provider, consider the time and energy your workforce will need to spend focusing on the business transformation, opposed to other fruitful endeavors, so that you have a true understanding of the importance of partnering with a provider that understands and can meet your current and future needs, not just the provider's cost. When choosing the most appropriate provider for your project, determine whether the provider has the right level of capabilities and experience for your needs and if they have the type of collaboration and appropriate level of directness to produce your desired outcomes." — Bill Latshaw, research director, Worldwide Business Consulting Services at IDC
