The Forbes specialists on procurement and dispute resolution combine to share practical advice on how to make the most of engaging with contractors from start to finish in good times and bad. Our approach is to look at all stages of a contract including before and after the contract term and assess where the customer can take steps to improve the chances of getting the best value from a sustainable agreement. It won't always work out and it is equally important to know what problem solving tools there are in and out of the contract and how best to deal with a dispute if it escalates and what to do if the contractor goes insolvent. With an opportunity to put questions to the presenters this webinar will tell you what you need to know to get the best from contracts without contracts getting the better of you.
