Gilbert + Tobin
Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaMajor projects are susceptible to many challenges which can be improved by adopting a change of mindset at the outset of the project and adopting a mutually symbiotic approach designed to ensure that all parties succeed.
This webinar, hosted by Gilbert + Tobin, will explore the in-house counsel’s role in helping to drive process innovation in major projects. By focusing on results rather than tasks, in-house counsel can help the business leverage win-win thinking with service providers and procurement partners.
The session will explore:
- why major projects are prone to failure or underperformance in relation to the initial expectations, if those initial expectations are not strategically enabled;
- how different stakeholders can approach a project in order to meet all parties’ needs and complete the project in line with its anticipated cost;
- how to define the roles and measurable outcomes of the respective parties, and implement appropriate governance structures (such as early warnings processes);
- how these concepts underpin the alliance form of project management;
- how in-house counsel can lay the groundwork for the revitalisation of relationships with key partners; and
- how to decrease the likelihood of disputes arising.
