Presentation Brief:

Across North America, in all sectors, project owners are experiencing pervasive cost overruns, schedule delays, and high-profile contractual disputes. Traditional procurement processes that historically yielded strong competition, attractive pricing, and included rigid quality requirements for private-sector contractors can become tense, distracting, and adversarial during delivery. While large project risks haven’t changed, the underlying projects have become much larger and more complex.

In this session, we will explore:

• Collaborative contracting;
• The spectrum of collaboration; and
• Our perspective on historical problems that we are trying to resolve through its implementation.

As market trends and shifting risk profiles push owners to explore new ways of contracting, this session will help all project professionals gain valuable insights into collaborative contracting, and why we may need to adapt or look at things in a new light to achieve success through this new model.
