A NEW FISCAL YEAR MEANS NEW BEGINNINGS
Sheri Dougherty
 Dr. Sherilyne Dougherty, CEO

With a continuing resolution likely and a new administration on the way, it's important for consulting firms to stay focused on how best to serve their clients. So while your organizations celebrate their  accomplishments, the first quarter of FY 2017 is also about identifying and aligning priorities, including strategies for keeping and cultivating work. 
 
Fall is a busy time for businesses. In the midst of client kickoffs and planning, looking internally with an eye on planning and improvement is key to continued success. As we roll up our sleeves to set the stage for the year's work, we are also establishing organizational and individual goals, evaluating and setting budgets, and planning employee development. I hope you will find this issue of DAI Solutions Advisor helpful and inspiring.

Thank you for supporting the DAI Solutions Advisor.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE EVERYTHING

Congratulations on the contract win! Now it's time to quickly and thoughtfully bring to life the vision and management practices you described in your winning proposal.

Step one is the kickoff meeting. Kickoff meetings lay the foundation for the relationship you will have with your new partner. While at the end of the day, no amount of personal connection can substitute for great work, building a strong relationship is a stepping stone to accomplishing great things together.
