311: Why Value-Based Fees Seldom Work
In this podcast, and related article, we are going to talk about value-based fees. And I am going to explain to you why value-based fees seldom work. We will also explain why value-based fees are misunderstood. And they are misunderstood in a very fundamental way. Value-based fees can only work if certain supply and demand conditions in the market are met, or if your client is naïve. If a consulting firm understands this concept, they have a higher probability of securing higher-margin value-based fees.

310: Sales and Client Relationships
A very common strategy for a management consulting firm to displace an incumbent and serve a client is to show an problem / insight / opportunity that the client has not realized before. Unfortunately, this does not work that well in building client relationships and driving sales. In fact, a brilliant insight by itself may even lead to more work for the competition. In this podcast, and related article, we discuss this issue and address how to fix it.

308: How to Resign
In this podcast, and related article, I discuss how to resign, and especially how to resign if you are part of the inner circle of the firm and office. The business model of McKinsey, BCG and that of other firms expects this. When not expected at your firm, it is even more important you handle this correctly. If you are part of the inner circle most of the best practices you read about will not apply to you. Most of the company rules and guidelines will certainly not apply to you. I also discuss some ways in which members of my inner circle resigned. Never ever repeat their mistakes.
