The purpose of projects is to enable or deliver Benefits. The measure of Benefits is Value. So shouldn’t Project Managers, the Procurement function and the market (bidders) be partners in a process whose objective is to identify, quantify, and maximize Value? But how can this work?

This panel-based webinar explores how a collaborative approach to procurement based on contracting for outcomes, can deliver and quantify value.

The three protagonists represent:

• Project managers who are now measured just as much on the value they deliver, as well as against the traditional time, cost and quality.
• The Procurement function, who have to demonstrate value and compliance. This becomes harder when using outcome based procurement approaches instead of just best economic value (lowest cost) for a given specification.
• Business development who need to demonstrate value in proposals. Winning bidders are those who show superior value and can quantify the benefits supported by proofs.

Our panellists are all experienced practitioners and thought leaders in their field.

Attendees will:

• Learn about the state of the art and limitations on outcomes based procurement.
• Hear examples of good practice from real-world practitioners.
• Learn proven techniques to identify, and quantify the value of benefits.
• Be able to recognise pitfalls and issues to address when applying these techniques at work.

The interactive agenda will include time for questions on topics raised.
