16. When to Decline a Change Project as a Change Consultant

As a Change Consultant, when should I consider not accepting a project because of clear adverse leadership, buy-in or cultural issues?

There is nothing worse than being tied up in a change project that has no chance of succeeding. The causes of this are many. It may be poor sponsorship, no clear outcome, unrealistic timetable and budget, unclear decision authorities or ignoring stakeholder needs. The list goes on. This episode focuses on these issues and what change consultants can do to first avoid getting into these situations, and second, help the sponsor or leaders to see these predictable issues early and make strategic changes before the project fails. This takes courage and clarity. It takes caring about delivering value in the work you do. Come hear strategies that can assist you to consciously pursue good work that is meaningful to you and the client! This applies to both internal consultants and externals.
