FIDIC Contract Management
Same coaching approach applies for SIA and VOB (Workshop language: German)
It is unrealistic and impractical to have all contracts drawn up and negotiated by lawyers in day-to-day business. Managing Directors, Executives and Project Managers often have to negotiate and conclude contracts themselves and often feel insecure on this terrain. This practice-oriented workshop will help you to counter this uncertainty. You will acquire the necessary legal basics and gain considerably more security. You will learn to avoid mistakes that are usually difficult to correct at high cost and you will qualify in Contract Management and Contract Law.
Within the scope of group exercises, you will develop and discuss solutions for problems in Contract Management as they occur in your daily project routine and learn how to deal with them better and therefore more efficiently.
