While measuring the performance of consulting service providers is crucial for your business, it's not a methodical and straightforward process. No wonder, 57% of companies don’t have a systematic Performance Evaluation system for the Consulting Category.

On the other side of the spectrum, most consulting firms work without having a reliable system for measuring clients' satisfaction. Many of them learn it the hard way -- they come to know about their clients' dissatisfaction with their performance only when they lose that account.

On this week's Smart Consulting Sourcing Podcast, Helene reveals six approaches to measuring the performance of consulting services. No matter whether you are a consultant or a client, you're sure to benefit from this episode. So, tune in!

It's a common notion that purchasing consultancy services is complicated. Without attempting to understand the factors that add to the complexity or explore ways to simplify the process, some companies just choose not to purchase consultancy despite their need for it.

Others just take the plunge without first trying to understand the nitty-gritty of procuring complex professional services that are intangible and hence, hard to measure.

On this week’s Smart consulting Sourcing podcast, Consulting Sourcing Expert Hélène Laffitte explains what's so specific about purchasing consulting services to get the most out of the procurement process.
