<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>On completion of this programme the participants will:</p><ul><li>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;</li><li>have gained an understanding of the terminology and procedural issues pertaining to contracting within a programme; and</li><li>be more commercially aware and better equipped for their roles.</li></ul><section>

<p>What do engineers and project managers need to know of finance? 'Nothing - leave it to the accountants!'</p><p>No, no, no! Engineers must be conversant with the terminology and statements that accountants use. Technical expertise in projects, service delivery, production or other areas can only really be harnessed if the managers understand the accounting and reporting that drives businesses.</p><p>This course gives the necessary understanding to project, production and technical managers. It develops their skills in understanding financial and management accounting.</p><p>Accountants may not always like it but a major part of their work is to be the 'servants of business' and to gather, compile and present your figures. So you must understand the figures - they belong to you, your processes or projects. There are many reasons for maintaining accurate accounts. This course focuses on the strategic issues (those over-used words) - what figures reveal about the drivers of business and what they reveal about the day-to-day issues that accountants bother you with. The course will enhance your understanding of finance and of the accounting issues which affect your projects, production and technical areas of business.</p>This course will help you:<ul><li>Understand the business world in figures - make sense of what the accountants are telling you</li><li>Appreciate what drives business - and how this affects your role in your part of the business</li><li>Relate your activities to the success of the business - through figures</li><li>Gain the skills to advance in management - financial awareness is a 'must have' if you are to progress in your career</li></ul><section>

<p>Software comes in a variety of guises - application software, firmware, middleware, system software.

<p>Trade barriers are going up across the globe. And cybercrime is on the increase. The link between the two? The value of trade secrets.</p><p>As countries become increasingly protectionist as regards international trade, so their IP law has been changing, with the result that companies that previously would have sought protection through patents are opting to go down the trade secret route instead. But is this a high-risk strategy? Technology is changing and this is having an impact on forms of commercial co-operation. Collaborative or open forms of innovation by their very nature involve the sharing of intellectual property (IP), and in many instances this IP is in the form of valuable confidential business information (ie, trade secrets). Little surprise, then, that trade secrets disputes have increased accordingly.</p><p>At the same time, the changes in technology make trade secrets more vulnerable to attack, misappropriation, theft.</p><p>So just how effective are the legal protections for trade secrets? How can organisations safeguard the value in their IP (increasingly, the single biggest line in their balance sheets)? This programme is designed to help you address these issues.</p><p>Note: this is an indicative agenda, to be used as a starting point for a conversation between client and consultant, depending on the organisation's specific situation and requirements.</p>This session is designed to give you a deeper understanding of:<ul><li>Emerging trends in trade secrets protection and exploitation</li><li>The current situation in key jurisdictions</li><li>Recent case law</li><li>How leading companies are responding</li><li>The importance of trade secret metadata</li><li>Different external stakeholders and their interests</li><li>Key steps for effective protection of trade secrets</li></ul><section>
