transformation-leaders
How do I get the project brief right?
Good question. Indeed you may find that
   at a transformation-leaders briefing
    session that your briefer, himself a
senior independent, (not a high pressure
     commission incentivised, agency
  salesman urgent to make a sale), may
 tease out that maybe your key problem
      lies in a slightly different place.
A senior interim project is not like a job
brief at all. HR departments are great at
employee briefs but are not normally so
       good at project briefs, which
  concentrate on deliverables and time
     frames. In the ensuing shortlist
 interviews all top candidates will have
done considerable research to move the
brief on. These interviews can be hugely
          valuable to the client.
