Abstract:Knowledge intensive business service (KIBS) companies provide knowledge-based products and services to their clients. The profitability of their value propositions relies upon the specificity of their knowledge base. Remaining profitable is of continuous importance for (engineering) KIBS companies, as they are faced with (international) competition and commoditization of their services. One way to stay away from commoditization is value proposition expansion through adopting consulting practices. This research was conducted to answer the following research question: How can an engineering KIBS company expand its value proposition by adopting co-constructive consultancy practices? The research question is answered by conducting five case studies within an international natural and built asset design & consultancy firm based in the Netherlands.
