I have been offered a new gig but have been picked specifically as I have done some competency based management development in the past. The client wants me to look after and develop 5 direct reports. The last contractor just did the bear minimum and didn't do anything with them so the team is in a bit of a state and this is one of their requirements. There will be budget and time set aside for this.
Now I have no problem doing this and have pointed out to the client that this will have to be a separate deliverable on my contract to which they have agreed and asked me to put something together to add to my SoW. Having demonstrated this on my CV and having a set of deliverables I think I am covered for D&C and making it a set piece of work means I am not doing an enduring role of a manager in the organisation i.e. I am still delivering a service.
I am going to exclude standard yearly reviews as part of wage reviews etc and being a nominated mentor as I do see that as part and parcel of the organisation and not a developement deliverable. I expect the client might have a problem with this but sure I can negotiate it out, mainly on the basis I won't be there long enough to give a fair review.
Has anyone had experience with something like this? Anything else I should write out or in?
How have other people handled managing reports in a gig, either documented or expected?
