I met about a project we'd recently started. Part of what we discussed related to the difference in assumptions from when we presented our credentials, skills and proposed solution, to now and the current state of affairs for the entity. To me, the fact that things change - in any relationship, personal or professional - seems to be both natural and inevitable.In other examples, not this one, I have encountered resistance to adjusting or revisiting the state of affairs. More specifically, I have witnessed when entities 'bought/chose' the proposal and not the latest thinking that might be best for the organization. In other words, they were less than willing to discuss, revisit or alter the expectations.
Luckily that's not the conversation I had today. We talked about evolution and the path forward, which is good for everyone. It was a refreshing perspective.
