| Summary: | How do you achieve advisory services
results on a shoestring budget and two staff? The many
variables involved in managing and growing any regional
program, including significant time spent in procuring
expertise and short-term consultants, and in fund-raising to
reduce the time available for project delivery. These
necessary distractions shift the focus away from managing
client relationships and achieving impact. And, at times,
they can affect the quality of outputs. This smart lesson
talks about using strategic partnerships to help balance the
external and internal factors while expanding outreach and
remaining responsive to clients. With this approach our team
has gone from 'how do we make it through this financial
year without a drop in client satisfaction and low
supervision results' to 'our clients are so
pleased that they're talking with International Finance
Corporation (IFC) CEO Lars Thunell about expanding their IFC relationship!' |
