The interaction of clients and contractors plays an incredible role in any project. While all professionals will meet the goals to the best of the abilities, the relationship between the team members influences the assignment in quantifiable ways. Working with a client that is open with information, feedback and positive reinforcement will guarantee success above and beyond the defined outcomes. Clients who truly are agreeable to different methods and paths to success and participate positively in the project will frequently find the contractor working extra (unbilled) hours, with the contractor bringing even greater added value to the client. A wonderful compliment – having a client say thank you for the working relationship – commenting they finding it invigorating. That affirmative reinforcement will motivate the team and keep the ideas flowing, resulting in measurable success.
