What the grass at Ohio State does that your process does not

Accounting firms spend enormous amount of time chasing clients to follow their process. Documents come in late. Portals get ignored. The same follow-up email gets sent for the third time this month. The usual response is more reminders, stricter deadlines, and better instructions.
None of it works.

In this Out of Scope: Lunch and Learn, we walked through the desire paths principle, a 100-year-old idea from landscape architecture, and how it explains most of the client friction you deal with every week.

Includes a live writing exercise.
