Types of outcomes Clients typically seek

TECHNICAL: Automating *Adding flexibility *Improving quality *Removing process steps. BUSINESS: Improving profitability * Increasing market share * Accelerating growth rate * Reducing cycle time * Leverage data.
SOCIAL
INTERNAL: Morale * Absenteeism * Turnover EXTERNAL: Higher Customer satisfaction * Brand loyalty . Proposal writers often attribute their own values to the Customer. For example, in working with one of the world's largest professional services firms, one said "I found that virtually every proposal contained the same value proposition" "We offer a greater breadth of services than any other firm,"it went. "We can do it all. Nomatter what kind of analysis, implementation, or outsourcing service you may need, we can do it."The problem was, as research into the values of their Customer base revealed, Customers didn't care about breadth of services as a differentiator. What they wanted was much more task specific: Speed of delivery. Risk minimization. Performance guarantees. Relevant prior experience. Introduction of new technologies that improve productivity. Breadth of services was strictly an internal focus, something the partners in this firm were proud of but which had little meaning for Customers.
