Disruptive Thinking’s client management charter: A commitment to good work with good people

At Disruptive Thinking, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service while fostering strong relationships with our clients. Our client management charter is built on principles that guide how we approach every project and interaction, ensuring that we consistently deliver value. Here we take a closer look at our approach and best practices.


Things we will always do for our clients:

  1. Be transparent, honest, and open. Transparency is at the core of our values - hence why we included it within our B Corp pledge. We believe in being upfront and clear with our clients at all stages of a project. Whether it's discussing challenges, progress, or unexpected changes, open communication builds trust and sets the foundation for long-term partnerships. 

  2. Deliver the highest standard of work at all times. Quality is non-negotiable. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, ensuring that every piece of work we deliver meets or exceeds expectations. Attention to detail, precision, and a focus on excellence are the hallmarks of our approach.

  3. Meet agreed deadlines. We understand that timely delivery is critical to our client’s success. That’s why we’re committed to meeting agreed deadlines, and helping clients stay on track with their goals. We set realistic timelines and stick to them, ensuring that there’s never a last-minute scramble.

  4. Care about our client's projects as if they were our own. When we take on a project, we treat it with the same level of care and commitment as if it were our own. We take pride in the work we do and are genuinely invested in our client's success. Their achievements are our achievements.

  5. Go the extra mile by seeking opportunities for continuous improvement. ‘OK’ is never enough. We continuously look for ways to refine our work and enhance the value we deliver. Whether it’s suggesting innovative ideas or proactively identifying areas for optimization, we’re always seeking ways to elevate the client experience.

  6. Maintain open communication across our team. To ensure consistency and avoid bottlenecks, we keep communication open within our team. This way, if one person needs to step in, they’re fully informed about the project. Collaboration and knowledge-sharing enable us to provide seamless support, even if responsibilities shift.

Things we need to be mindful of not doing:

  1. Overpromising beyond our capacity. While we aim to provide the best service, it’s crucial that we stay realistic about what we can achieve within our resources. Overpromising can lead to stress, compromised quality, and missed deadlines. We focus on setting achievable expectations to ensure we can always deliver as promised.

  2. Allowing scope creep. Scope creep can derail a project and lead to unmanageable workloads. We make it a priority to stick to the agreed brief and ensure that any additional work is clearly defined, scoped, and accounted for accordingly. Clear boundaries and consistent communication prevent projects from expanding beyond the initial plan - and any extras are signed off before being carried out.

  3. Having closed conversations. Effective project management relies on visibility. By keeping communication in open channels rather than private DMs, we encourage collaboration and transparency. This approach allows the entire team to stay informed, enabling quicker resolutions and a more cohesive client experience.

  4. Prioritising the loudest voice. In any project, it’s important to consider the needs and input of all stakeholders, not just the most vocal. We aim to give balanced attention to everyone involved, ensuring that all perspectives are heard and that the final outcome aligns with the collective vision.

Best practices:

  1. Set clear, defined briefs. A well-defined brief is the foundation of any successful project. We ensure that every project starts with a clear understanding of the goals, deliverables, and expectations. This clarity helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps everyone aligned.

  2. List deliverables with agreed deadlines. We create detailed plans that outline all deliverables along with their respective deadlines. This not only keeps us organized but also provides clients with a clear roadmap of what to expect and when.

  3. Maintain frequent and open communication, using the client’s preferred channel. Each client has their preferred method of communication, and we respect that. Whether it’s through emails, calls, or messaging platforms, we stay in touch regularly, providing updates, addressing concerns, and ensuring that clients are always informed.

  4. Use internal channels to keep the team updated. Internal communication is just as important as client communication. We make it a habit to share updates within our team, no matter how small they may seem. This ensures that everyone is on the same page and can step in if needed.

  5. Always ask. We’re all in this together. If there’s ever uncertainty, we ask questions rather than make assumptions. This collaborative approach ensures that everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals.

  6. Be kind to yourself and others. In the fast-paced world of client management, it’s important to remember that we’re all human. Challenges arise, but approaching them with kindness and understanding helps us support each other and maintain a positive work environment.


At Disruptive Thinking, our Client Management Charter is more than just a set of guidelines—it’s a reflection of the values that drive us every day. By staying committed to these principles, we build stronger relationships, deliver exceptional work, and create a culture of trust, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
