Advice from other information consultants

Abstract:

In this chapter consulting veterans offer some tips and considerations from their own experiences. Most of these deal with sensitive situations such as keeping integrity and neutrality against pressure from clients, and managing and reporting unforeseen circumstances in time to avoid escalations. Some others answer the questions of whether you can work for clients who are competitors to each other, or whether it is ethical to ‘recycle’ your earlier deliverable. During your work you may get other or new experiences. Do not hesitate to share them with others as the veterans do it in this chapter.
