Could You Just Do One More Thing?

How do you set boundaries with your clients, either internal or external? When planning events, what client question makes you cringe? “Could you do just one more thing?”  Does someone you know suffer from lavish taste with a small budget?  This is referred to as “Scope Creep.”

Learn to establish clear goals and objectives, define the scope of the project and responsibilities and you will be able to control the extent of your obligations and evaluate your success.

After participating, attendees will be able to:

• Identify the Term “scope Creep” and Learn Three Ways to Use It to Your Advantage
• Add Five New Resources to Assist You While Your “to Do” List Keeps Expanding
• Triage a Request and Determine the Best Plan of Action Based on the Eternal Dilemma of Quick, Cheap, or Right.
• Learn Preventive Measures to Reduce “scope Creep’s “occupancy in Your Planning Cycle.
