Figure out the common elements from the previous work - be it some research, the messaging, the brand guides etc. Step by step think of the tasks that need realignment based on the new focus. Sometimes a few updates can be enough to update the project, at times it can be thought of as a new project.

To adapt, I’ll quickly assess the new direction, clarify goals with the client, and prioritize key changes. I’ll then revise the design strategy to align with the updated focus, ensuring creative consistency while meeting deadlines. Clear communication and flexibility will be key to delivering exceptional results.

Lorsque le client change l’orientation du projet de manière inattendue, il est essentiel de rester flexible et proactif. Commencez par clarifier les nouvelles attentes en posant des questions précises pour comprendre pleinement les besoins et les objectifs révisés. Ensuite, évaluez l’impact des changements sur le calendrier et les ressources disponibles, et ajustez votre plan de travail en conséquence. Une fois les nouvelles directives intégrées, réorganisez vos priorités et concentrez-vous sur les éléments critiques pour fournir un design exceptionnel tout en respectant les contraintes. Faites preuve de créativité pour répondre aux nouvelles exigences tout en maintenant une qualité visuelle et fonctionnelle élevée.

When a client shifts the project focus unexpectedly, I’ll first clarify the new direction, ensuring I understand their updated goals. Then, I’ll quickly realign the design strategy to fit the new vision while maintaining high-quality standards. Flexibility and clear communication will ensure exceptional results.

Changes in requirements can happen on design projects. Being agile can be helpful in this case. Applying agile principles of transparent communication, openness to change, staying focussed and creative converting this into an opportunity for innovation, demonstrating the job on timely basis to the client can help gain his trust.
