Most projects involve contracts with external providers or suppliers of good and services. Those taking on the role of project managers therefore need to know and understand the basics of contract law in order to be effective and avoid risks being ‘gotchas’!

Most projects involve buying something from an external provider. This can range from ‘off the shelf’ widgets to complex contracts for multi-million packages.

Regardless, if you don’t know the basics of contract law, both in the procurement and ‘in-contract’ management phase, you can inadvertently put your organisation at significant commercial risk. On the other hand, if both parties clearly articulate and understand their legal and contractual obligations, then the project is far more likely to be a success.

What does this mean? Having a basic knowledge of contract law is an essential pre-requisite for an effective project manager!

This is the second webinar in this series:

The COVID-19 pandemic showed us that a lot can change very quickly and that our strategies must be ready to adjust accordingly.

Even the most basic assumptions about when, where and how we work have been broken. How do you plan for the future when the foundations of your enterprise have shifted and when further shocks are inevitable? And how do you execute your strategy when the world around you is continually changing?

In this webinar Ian Cox (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr Director  Analyst will provide CIOs with the practical steps and tools they need to create and execute strategy in a volatile world.

Discussion Topics:

• Create a strategy that is resilient to shocks and flexible to deal with uncertainty
• Adapt your execution to stay on track to deliver the strategy
• Keep your strategy and execution plans in sync when both change frequently
