NEW:

Antionette: It is clear your inability to connect with class and see what the requirements really are hampering your full understanding of what it takes to consult and conform with the updated requirements. Here is what I was looking for:

DELIVERABLE #1 FOR DBA 756: These are the requirements for the first consulting deliverable as instructed for DBA 756.

USING A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION-STAY IN YOUR WHEELHOUSE— You needed yo assure the following were included in Deliverable 1

4. THE GOAL OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONSULTANT AND CLIENT
5. ACTION PLAN WITH TIMELINE FOR TERMS OF THE CONTRACT WITH HYPOTHETICAL START AND FINISH DATES-ALSO STIPULATE MILESTONES AND DATES DUE AND COMPLETE THE TIMELINE WITH THE TEAM LEADERS AND RESPONSIBLE PERSONS FOR EACH TASK AND INSPECTORS THAT TASKS ARE IN FACT COMPLETED AS REQUIRED
6. STIPULATE AS TO METRICS/MEASURES FOR EACH MILESTONE AND FOR THE OVERALL PROJECT AS WELL AS LIST OUTCOME MEASURES FOR EACH COMPLETED MILESTONE
7. CONSULTANT AND CLIENT NEED TO INITIAL EACH PAGESIGNIFYING AGREEMENT WITH WHAT IS STIPULATED ON EACH PAGE
8. LEGAL ASPECTS: 
9. Get notarized or have a lawyer’s signature block on the form-witness agreement
10. Agency clause-each operative will act in the best interests of the contract and the client’s interest as well as the letter and spirit of the contract
11. Severability and dispute resolution clause-both parties agree each may initiate an action to eliminate any stipulation that does not appear to be needed and alternative dispute resolution may be initiated by either signatory of the contract. The decision of a third-party arbitrator is binding on both parties
12. Substantive changes clause-both parties can agree to make changes to the contract that may extend, or shorten it or make changes to the contract for added effort, costs, and benefits
13. Non-disclosure-only parties to the contract will need to know that instrument; all others need to know must be agreed to by all parties to the contract
14. A system for payment made will be written into the contract, stipulating itemized costs, progress payments and other agreed to mechanisms to assure proper transactional and fiduciary attributes of the contract
15. SIGNATURES OF LEADERSHIP FROM THE CLIENT GROUP AND FROM THE CONSULTANT-DATES OF SIGNATURES
16. COUNTERSIGNED BY LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES/ NOTARIES-DATES OF LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES

THE FORMAL CONTRACT SHOULD OPTIONALLY INCLUDE:

1. CV OF CONSULTANT WITH ENDORSEMENTS AS NEEDED
2. INFORMED CONSENT FOR ANY AND ALL INDIVIDUALS WHOSE WELFARE MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE INTERVENTIONS
3. RISK MITIGATION MEASURES TO BE ASSURED FOR THE CLIENT AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES

CONTEXT:

1. The contract should be developed by the consultant and approved by the client.
2. Use the template you developed from tool #1 for the contracting phase.
3. Develop either just before or just after the FEA (front end analysis) or initial problem-solving diagnosis. For DBA 756 you are using a hypothetical situation, so the front-end assessment is to be created by you, the student. You may use analogs from your day job or hypothetical case study.
4. As you develop your practice, consider what may be included for your advantage. Options could include getting document notarized, having corporate legal review, or having the contract be more informal (depending on circumstance, longevity of contract life, complexity of problem, size of organization, etc.).
