Our value lies in our ability to get our clients' projects through the necessary hurdles that stand in the way of their investment.
Everything else is secondary.

Having a thick skin and tolerance for dealing with bs from people we would rather not deal with. Also explaining to people how to do their job when it should be obvious without sounding like a jerk.

It is a great read explaining the history, value, use and misuse of design for designers and nondesigners alike and is very accessibly written

First, define value. And value for/to whom?

What do you mean by saying technical ability? Is it maths skills, analyzing and researching experience? If yes, then I would like to tell that this answer is quite similar to "What is more important: a health or a beauty?". And I think that both them are two sides of only one coin. So, if you have good technical skills - you will be able to build a "healthy" house. And if you additionally have a good vision of design you will make that building more comfortable and more beautiful for visitors. So, a balance and a combination of those things is a way to success.
