Note:  The NEC4 family of contract was completely updated in July this year. This independent review highlights the (mainly) good, the bad and ugly changes in the update.

NEC4 Suite Of Contracts reflect procurement and project management developments and emerging standard. This emerging best practice improves flexibility, clarity and the ease of administration in the civil engineering and construction industries, and also the power, water; oil & gas; IT and consultancy sectors.

The NEC family of contracts is now not just used widely in the technical engineering and construction industries and consultancy sectors both in the UK and abroad.

It’s original objectives were  aimed to:

• Be more flexible in terms of what it can be used for and the contract strategies that can be adopted;
• Have greater clarity and simplicity, so that it is easier to understand and use; and
• Stimulate good project management.

Supplier Integration is an important tool and process for any firm that is looking to optimize the financial performance of their projects.

We should not engage all suppliers the same way since they all have various core competencies that are more or less valuable to us.

As a company, having an objective database of suppliers with core competencies around design, prototyping, or manufacturing can help our firm to focus on what we do best and get into the market faster with a product that meets customer needs, delivers financial performance, and meets tight time schedule.

Please join Frederick McPherson (LinkedIn profile) & Milos Tipsarevic (LinkedIn profile) in discussing a case from Danfoss illustrating how a new product development project benefitted from utilizing Supplier integration tools and processes to drive a successful product launch.

A new study released by Fierce, Inc. finds that toxic employees continue to cause issues in the workplace, and the costs to the business are significant.

What’s more concerning is the long-term impact that toxicity, when left unaddressed, can have on organizational culture and results.

And it is often left unaddressed!

Results show only 18 percent of employees surveyed would share their concerns with management about a toxic employee and over 40 percent believe that once alerted, management will do nothing.

Join Beth Wagner, (LinkedIn profile) Fierce Master Facilitator, as she explores what employee toxicity is really costing your bottom line, and shares 5 Fierce Strategies to help you remove the impact of toxic employees on your culture.

Discussion Topics:

• Strategy is different things to different people, but it all breaks down to four types of strategy
• Strategy can be looked at as conducting experiments, creating options, making choices or improving the status quo — and what you must do for each type
• Why technology leaders must master all four types of strategy to find the appropriate strategic approach for any situation
