No team enters services implementation expecting to underperform and disappoint the client. Everyone goes with high hopes for beating the timeline, coming in under budget, and leaving the client happy. Unfortunately, problems do happen. The unforeseen is to be expected. How do you manage an implementation so that everyone comes out happy? Is it a question of how you frame success?

With generous support from Workfront, we set out to find an answer to these questions. We gathered 22 seasoned professionals from across the services spectrum and asked:

What advice would you offer to a solution implementation team to help them manage, meet, and exceed their client’s expectations throughout the implementation process?

The short essays in this book include expert stories of hands-on implementation experiences and challenges. Reading them, you will find that there is no one answer to that question. There are some common themes—for example, developing strong and lasting relationships is key, as are strong communication skills and well documented project plans.

I found these stories instructive and fascinating, and I’m sure any services professional would, too. I am confident that you will benefit from the shared wisdom of the experts who so generously gave of their time and energy to bring this eBook to life.
