This was an opportunity for me to convert feedback into action when our clients showed dissatisfaction with our transport solutions. I kicked it off through direct communication with the clients to understand where exactly the pain lay, and then pursued it diligently with the operations team to find out where the bottlenecks were. We immensely improved efficiency through real-time tracking, enhancing communication, and route optimization. Then there was a much more flexible, personalized service on offer to meet varied needs for different clients. It was through the process of turning dissatisfaction into success that restored the client's trust, while it also developed our responsiveness and innovative reputation.

The key is to immerse yourself in the day-to-day lives of the stakeholders. As an engineer, getting to know the site/community in detail is one of the most exciting subjects, as is interacting with the stakeholders and learning their necessities for traveling patterns and transportation modes. Can you imagine physically knowing a town like a palm on the hand? Blocks, intersections, parking spaces, emergency facilities, street lights and timing, bus pullouts, transit routes, etc. Listening to and educating the public during the decision-making process is the most important thing. Even when decisions do not benefit them at all, they need to understand that they are for the common benefit and adjusted to a sustainable future.

Listening and showing empathy are great, but if this occurs after solutions are presented, the client's trust in you may be damaged beyond repair. I have found it productive to bring clients into the development process early and continually engaging them (before solutions are presented). When they become part of the process, they better understand the challenges associated with each option. Another added benefit is, they may provide some very valuble insight based on thier unique perspective. If the problem, we are collectively trying to solve, is very challenging (say for budgetary reasons), having the client involved with each step of the process helps temper any unrealisitc expectations they may have going in.
