•“I believe that clients make few distinctions on the technical
capabilities of the best firms and, as a result, place great
emphasis on the ability of the individual partner to enter their
world, relate to them in their language, and talk to them about
their business. We will never succeed by being technicians
alone, no matter how high our level of technical skill. Clients
want us to know their business. They want us to be interested
in them.” (Source: David Maister)
