whitepaper Use Tools to Gain Client Mindshare2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips
  Company executives and managers initially give new consulting projects top priority. But to keep a project on track, consultants still need to attract and maintain the participation of all key project participants. Gaining client mindshare, in which the project is at the forefront of the client's priorities, is necessary to give one the access one need to the client's organization, allowing the projects to reach successful completion. Without client mindshare, communication channels break down, leading to a more difficult, or delayed, project. And if one is unable to maintain client mindshare at the executive level, other staff members may feel that participation in the project is no longer a high priority. If that happens, one's chances for success become severely compromised.
