Contracts & Incentives
Tuesday, Dec 09 3.00 PM ET/ 12.00 PM PT
Contracts drive behavior. We’ll examine the most common AEC contract types, how they align (or clash) with stakeholder business models, and strategies to structure incentives that keep teams focused on shared outcomes instead of finger-pointing.
Executing on Projects: Formation of the Business Case
Thursday, Jan 23 3.00 PM ET/ 12.00 PM PT

Making the Team Effective: Communication & Collaboration
Thursday, Feb 19 3.00 PM ET/ 12.00 PM PT

Unorganized Information ≠ Knowledge
Tuesday, Mar 24 3.00 PM ET/ 12.00 PM PT
