Be innovative in your planning with flexibility to Pivot. You need to have very clear project plan with deliverables, timelines and outcomes. At the same time, keep a very vigil watch to adhere to the plan. In case team is getting stretched due to client’s unreasonable high demand then you should be able to play smartly by trying to use maximum client’s resource for delivering the task within given constraints. Having a proactive, clear and concise communication is the key. Over communication is helpful in Some scenarios then no / limited communication. Create a Risk and Mitigation log and have a weekly formal review with all internal and external stakeholders to align the same.

Understand the client expectations in detail, agree/align on those expectations formally. Communicate proactively on limited resources. Discuss expectations with your team and share realistic timelines with client. Keep creative/alternative/stretched approach in back pocket to overdeliver or deliver project ahead of realistic timelines (closer to client expectations).

Lo más importante es ser honesto y congruente con nuestros clientes, explicando los posibles riesgos en un proyecto, pero también las ventajas competivas que tenemos como aliados comerciales. Es ahí el punto para destacar características como liderezgo, innovación, creatividad, resiliencia, pero sobre todo trabajo de equipo y compromiso para obtener los mejores resultados ante recursos escasos y como generar valor y obtención de mayor presupuesto por otras vías, ya sea públicas, privadas, nacionales o internacionales a través de una buena gestión administrativa y de relaciones públicas.

Managing client expectations with limited project resources requires a balance of transparency, prioritization, and proactive communication.

It may not be a good idea to over commit and under deliver in consulting projects. Due to the nature of the consulting business, this issue arises Often in the enthusiasm to get business, often this aspect gets overlooked which leads to issues later. The following may help 1. So it is critical that we are aligned to the scope 2. Make the deliverables defined and give indication of what it may look like 3. Engage the Governance committee and key decision makers at each stage and keep communication open including pre briefings before key meetings

Managing high client expectations sometime becomes very challenging. Here are couple of ways: a) Setting up the expectations right from day one. While having a kickoff call or client call, we need to set the expectations of what can be done and what we need assistance from their end. We can also divide the project into different phases which is achievable by our team. b) Communication plays a very key role in this aspect. While our client expects something great from us and if we don’t have that additional resource or skill set, we need to let them know as early as possible, so that they are well aware of the situation from day one. Giving regular updates to the client on the progress of the project will keep everyone on same page.
