Basic Contract Law For Project Managers (Part 1)

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 a three-part series of one hour webinars, each tackling a distinct issue.

Presenter: Sarah Schütte (LinkedIn profile) is a UK-qualified solicitor-advocate for Schutte Consulting Limited. With 16+ years’ experience, with a wide variety of industry clients to support their projects, disputes, corporate and project risk management and insurance strategies and training programmes, both in the UK and abroad. Sarah has developed a niche practice in planning, programing and project management (PPM and P3M), project controls and the law. She advocates confident and competent contract and commercial management, and focuses on putting law into practice so that project management practitioners develop essential knowledge and skills.

Everyone knows that text-heavy slides are terrible presentation and learning experiences, and yet everyone still uses them.

Why?

1. A major contributor is that dreaded question – ‘can you send me your slides?’ And so you have to include all the text.
2. What if there was another way?
3. What if there were five other ways?

This session will look at techniques for you to create perfect slides AND the perfect content to accompany them. Layered presentations, notes pages, dedicated documents, narrated videos, interactive PDFs, and even microsites. All in PowerPoint.

Some will be quick and easy, others more in-depth but could be worth the investment.

You’ll come away with a range of options to choose to maximize the impact your presentations have, through the resources you share afterwards.

Presenter: Richard Goring (LinkedIn profile) Director at BrightCarbon, (a specialist presentation agency). has helped to write and create thousands of presentations, and coached hundreds of teams to present more effectively using visuals, diagrams, and animated sequences that explain and reinforce the key points. Richard is passionate about improving the way that people present and believes that anyone can deliver a great presentation if given the right techniques and a bit of practice.
