Navigating Client Dissatisfaction
Every consultant has their share of success stories, but what happens when the client doesn’t like the analysis? Dive deep into the realities of professional consultancy where not every project ends with a fairy tale conclusion. In this session, Dennis Sherwood will share his personal journey of a decade-long engagement with a government client. Through this lens, he will shed light on the complexities and challenges faced when results don’t align with client expectations.
Join us to:
- Delve into the intricate dynamics of client relationships beyond conventional success narratives.
- Unpack strategies to manage, navigate, and turn around situations when clients are dissatisfied with the outcomes.
- Engage in an open forum to share your own experiences of when project outcomes diverged from client expectations.
