For each BMC block, provide 3 to 5 actionable recommendations tailored to the consulting sector:

- Value Proposition: what value drivers (expertise, methodology, network, guaranteed results) justify a premium price of [DAILY_RATE] EUR/day?
- Channels: how to reach decision-makers (CEO, CIO, HRD)? (e.g., LinkedIn, events, partnerships with [PARTNER_TYPE])
- Customer Relationships: how to retain and generate recurring business (framework contracts, long assignments, retainers)?
- Revenue Streams: pricing models (fixed fee, time & materials, success fee, subscription) suitable for consulting.
- Key Resources: which human, intangible (methods, client base, certifications) and financial assets are critical?
- Key Activities: which business processes (sales, delivery, knowledge management) are priorities?
- Key Partnerships: which partners (complementary firms, schools, publishers) can amplify the offering?
- Cost Structure: what are the major cost items (salaries, marketing, premises, training) and their relative weight?
For each block, give concrete examples and associated performance indicators (KPIs). The BMC must be operational and specific to consulting, not generic.
