Content: Definition of roles
Clearly defining the role for the consultant, client, and stakeholders is the second core principle of IT. The definition of clear roles is extremely important so that responsibilities are clearly defined and the process can run much smoother. IT consultants should make sure their clients are aware of their active role in the project and that everyone understands who is responsible for decisions in each phase. The consultant also needs to clearly state the boundaries of his or her role, as well as those of the consulting team. 3. Success visualization
This third step is also part of the planning phase and entails helping clients visualize how the final product or solution will look. This is where results and final configurations are introduced. Potential benefits should be clearly defined, as well as how new processes will work and how any new equipment will be installed. This important step will allow the client to keep the final outcome in mind as the project moves forward. It also allows the IT consultant to better manage their expectations.
