As part of our Client Perceptions programme, firms in this report are ranked on multiple metrics, including service quality, perceptions of added value, and the extent to which they are front of mind for clients. We include data covering different aspects of firms’ buyer funnels, including clients’ familiarity with firms, the extent to which they would consider working with a firm, and how strongly they would advocate for firms.

In this report we found that perceptions of value added by consulting firms in relation to fees charged is the highest it has ever been among clients in France. This report provides insight on the drivers of this increase and how perceptions differ across seniority levels.
