Randi used to ask, "How will you and I know when I have done the job to your satisfaction?"
Some clients were disarmed by this question; they had never been asked it before. Inevitably, answers began to emerge. Clients would say things such as:
- Our record-keeping and accounting costs will decline by 10 percent from those of last year.
- We will capture 40 percent more revenue from taxpayer compliance than occurred with our previous collectiion efforts.
- Our Website will move to the top in Google in less than a month.
- Fifteen percent of the proposals we write will result in signed contracts, as opposed to our traditional norm of 9 percent.
Randi Sherman's question can be adopted by all project managers as well. "How will my project team and I know that we have completed the project to the satisfaction of those charged with assessing our efforts?" The response may turn out to be multipart, but invariably the answer homes in on the essential question for all project managers who choose to be successful: "What needs to be accomplished?"
