Many breathe a sigh of relief when the negotiation of the contract is completed and the contract executed. But in truth the real task has just begun.
The combined tasks of the physical side of delivering the project and the administrative side of ‘all that paperwork’ has just begun.
More projects get into difficulty as a result of the behaviours during administration than because of troublesome contracts. How do you ‘keep it all together’ and not get bogged down in the paperwork? Are those endless formal requirements really all that important?
In this session we will explore the Kenny Roger approach to Contract Administration.
