how is a change order like taking your car to a mechanic? read on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

change orders are the result of a well-scoped process. they occur when a client adds a service not included in their original engagement or when a manager or partner requests a service be scoped and priced separately. the client decides whether or not to proceed with the change.<\/p>\n

the process of a change order is similar to taking your car to the mechanic for an oil change. during a diagnostic, they find you need a tire alignment as well. the alignment is not included in the services you bought, but you\u2019re curious to know how much it would cost. depending on the price, you\u2019ll add it to the original quote, or you won’t.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

the critical detail in this scenario is what happens after you recognize the remaining work is out of scope. this is the time to consult the customer and let them decide whether you should carry on. you don\u2019t want to move forward and deliver on services the client didn’t agree to and doesn’t want to pay for.<\/p>\n

the change order is essential because it gives the customer the power to choose and determine whether or not they like the price and the deliverable. by agreeing to and purchasing further services, you and your client will have reached a mutually beneficial agreement. the conversation to negotiate a change order is the difference between having a collaborative relationship with your customer or quietly sending a bill and hoping for the best.<\/p>\n

in traditional firms, the scope of a change is typically overlooked, and either the timesheet gets fudged to hide the additional work, or the client is billed, undermining the relationship.<\/p>\n

in a client-centric firm, putting the client’s needs and values first changes the dynamic and results in healthier communication and more aligned partnerships<\/p>\n
