Nowadays not only do we rely on our commercial and sales staff to hit that bottom line but we expect our engineers and project teams to play their part too - not only through their engineering and management skills but by behaving in a commercially minded way in their dealings with their counterparts in customer or supplier organisations. This means understanding, amongst other things, the issues surrounding the commencement of work ahead of contract, having a clear contract baseline, recognising the broader implications of contract change, the need for timeliness and the consequences of failing to meet the contracted timetable. This practical one-day programme has been designed specifically to give engineers, project staff and others just that understanding. The course is designed principally to provide engineers and project staff with an appreciation of contractual obligations, liabilities, rights and remedies so that they understand the implications of their actions. It is also suitable for business development staff who are negotiating contracts on behalf of the business. The main focus of the day is on creating an awareness of when a situation may have commercial implications that would harm an organisation's business interests if not recognised and handled appropriately and how taking a positive but more commercial approach to those situations can lead to a more positive outcome for the business. As well as providing an understanding of the commercial imperatives the day also focuses on specific areas affecting engineers and project staff, such as the recognition and management of change, the risks when working outside the contract and managing delays in contracts. The course identifies the different remedies that may apply according to the reasons for the delay and provides some thoughts on pushing back should such situations arise. On completion of this programme the participants will: appreciate the need for contractual controls and will have a better understanding of their relevance and how they can be applied, particularly the issues of starting work ahead of contract, implementing changes and inadvertently creating a binding contract by their behaviour; have gained an understanding of the terminology and procedural issues pertaining to contracting within a programme; and be more commercially aware and better equipped for their roles. 1 Basic contract law - bidding and contract formation Purpose of a contract Contract formation - the key elements required to create a legally binding agreement Completeness and enforceability Express and implied terms Conditions v warranties The use of, and issues arising from, standard forms of sale and purchase Use of 'subject to contract' Letters of intent Authority to commit 2 Change management Recognising changes to a contracted requirement Pricing change Implementation and management of change 3 Key contracting terms and conditions By the end of this module participants will be able to identify the key principles associated with: Pricing Getting paid and retaining payment Cashflow Delivery and acceptance Programme delaysExamining some reasons for non-performance...Customer failureContractor's failureNo fault delays ... and the consequences of non-performance: Damages claimsLiquidated damagesForce majeureContinued performance Waiver clauses and recent case law Use of best/reasonable endeavours Contract termination 4 Warranties, indemnities and liability Express and implied warranties Limiting liability 5 Protection of information Forms of intellectual property Background/foreground intellectual property Marking intellectual property Intellectual property rights Copyright Software Confidentiality agreements Internet

Success = Value + People + Process With innovation happening more than ever, the new agile project economy requires more and more people across organisations to manage projects successfully, leading to many of us quietly slipping into the role of the unofficial project manager! The problem is very few people receive formal training on how to do it. Stakeholders, scope creep, limited training, and a lack of process all combine to raise the probability of project failure costing organisations time, money, and employee morale Is it any wonder 65% of all projects fail* each year! The good news is—unofficial project managers can build confidence to lead high-value projects and engage teams in a way that inspires them to volunteer their best efforts. Source: *Nieto-Rodriguez, A. (2021). “The Project Economy Has Arrived.” Harvard Business Review; Nov/Dec 21. Outcomes Project Management for the Unofficial Project Manager™ combines best practices from agile and waterfall project management to equip learners with the mindset, skillset, and toolset to engage and inspire team members. Success starts with the core agile principle of value—a project must deliver value to Noble! Once value is established, it is people who make projects successful through a consistent process. Project management isn’t just about managing logistics and hoping the project team is ready to play to win. The skills of “informal authority” are more important than ever before, so team members are inspired to contribute to project success! This course will help learners: Build strong informal authority that inspires project teams to consistently volunteer their best efforts. Utilise a consistent process to start and finish high-value projects on time and with quality. Influence and engage others to define a clear project scope, including clear deliverables and risk strategies. Model openness and agility to apply proactive change management and deliver high-value projects. Project Management Framework The Project Management Framework guides you through five distinct elements in the life of any project. Coupled with the foundational behaviours taught in the programme, this framework can help you deliver highly successful projects again and again. Who Should Attend? This programme is for anyone who finds themselves leading projects at work, regardless of whether or not their job title says, Project Manager! It is NOT a deep dive into project management processes, nor is it a qualification based programme. Whilst it would be helpful to either be involved in or to be leading a project, during the programme, this is clearly not essential. However, it is advisable that the participants have had some experience, whether as a project member or as the person who is leading the project (officially or not)! Project Management Institute (PMI) FranklinCovey is a member of the Project Management Institute (PMI) Authorised Training Partners (ATP) Programme and this course has been designed to satisfy the project management education requirement for PMI Certifications as well as Professional Development Education units (PDUs) needed by PMI credential holders.
