All - suggest bullet points under the following topics:

- Evidence
- Confidential Balanced Scorecard
- Proposed Solution

Got it. Follow A1's advice and keep us updated!

like

Client concerns- no tangible results, funky smell, director picks his left ear constantly throughout a meeting, hate the black and white color scheme, too aggressive

like

Evidence- promised $1.7m savings, currently at -$600k... funky smell- cfo issued a companywide memo to keep febreeze in all conference room at all times after the first meeting with director, ear picking- multiple witnesses

like

Billing retention - client proposes withholding last 2$m of fees and enacting clawback clauses in contract, potential litigation if continued involvement of lead Partner, direct billing for all fumigation services from independent contractor.

like

Proposed Solution - Vendor team to be given notice on 11/21. 24h to turn around. EY asked to stand up take over team to begin immediately after thanksgiving.

like

Evidence - reduced productivity over last two periods, additional client costs incurred through inferior vendor resources, leadership attention accounts for <5% of onsite hours but >25% of billings.

like

Nice! Hate those guys... always nosing in

like

Additional Client Concerns - responsible partner not returning calls. Client CEO increasingly frustrated and prepared to make market statement either Friday or Monday. Conscious of likely adverse impact to vendor - client believes little choice.
