Some of the lessons I've learned in execution :

• A major role of the consultant is to alert the clients to dangers along the journey.
• Elicit from the client those obstacles which have foiled implementation of projects in the past.
• Find out who the main opponents will be and make plans for them.
• Make sure the client has a budget, if there is no money to implement change, change will not be implemented.
• Raise possible negative issues experienced elsewhere and insure that the client isn?t being overly optimistic about success.
• Track early implementation actions very closely to determine whether or not anything has been missed.
• Serve as a coach to the client so they can come for help with sensitive or uncomfortable tasks.
• Establish a reporting system from the outset so any unexpected problems will be quickly reported and corrected.
