Traditional barriers between the inside and outside of organisations are becoming less relevant in today's world of commercial networks, partnerships and alliances. Businesses rely evermore on an extended skills network to achieve competitive advantage - opening niches for consultancy firms to occupy. Too often though, consultancies provide poor value-for-money and a questionable sense of ethics and commitment.

We analysed these issues using our Client Value Drivers marketing assessment technique. The results showed that when companies seek outside help the qualities they most desire are:

• Quality - an approach that is consistent and thorough
• Insight - fresh perspectives on business problems
• Integrity - a strong sense of ethics and commitment
• Innovation - the creativity to suggest radical changes, not just safe incremental improvement
