   What's the Easiest Way to Track Consultant Deliverables Without Micromanaging?

   In this Quick Take on Smart Consulting Sourcing, Hélène Laffitte, CEO at Consulting Quest, explains how to track what consultants are actually delivering without turning into the client who needs a daily task-by-task progress report. Discover the two patterns that quietly wreck consulting projects, consultants left without direction or sponsorship, and consultants managed so closely nobody can move, and why the internal project manager's real job is making decisions when consultants get stuck, connecting them to the right people, and protecting the project from the organization's own tendency to slow it down, all in three minutes.
