Have you ever "inherited" a project
in midstream only to discover it
couldn't be completed until
3 weeks past the due date?

Ann at Hewlett-Packard did!
It was a massive project. It involved literature for two separate symposiums that were to be held at 17 different locations over a four month period. With three weeks remaining before the first scheduled mailing, the original vendor notified Ann that they needed six weeks to get just the first phase completed. Since commitments had been made, revising symposium dates and sites was not possible.

LFA resolved the dilemma by redesigning the literature to make it more flexible, rewriting copy to allow broader use of the front piece, and creating separate inserts for each location showing times and location maps. This allowed more efficient production, and, despite overtime, the whole project was completed on time and under the original budget.
