Exploring Lessons from the Industry
These conferences always serve as a platform for guest speakers to share impressive knowledge in their respective fields of expertise. The wide range of lessons and strategies to be discussed includes everything from how to manage high-performing teams, presented by David Campion, former gold-medal-winning England squash head coach, to the conclusions we can draw from adjudications on specific case study projects. And the Who Wants to Be an NEC Millionaire? quiz is quickly becoming an infamous highlight of these conferences, challenging attendees’ knowledge in a fun and interactive way. The drinks reception to close serves as an opportunity to network with both familiar and new attendees.
Nick Ives Returns to the Leeds Stage
Following last year’s Leeds conference success, Nick Ives is back to provide another thought-provoking talk. Last year’s presentation, How to Keep Your Bees in Order, focused on getting value from contract management systems. This year, Nick will be building on this by applying authentic issues seen in construction contract management, in collaboration with NEC Specialist Glenn Hide (GMH Planning). With the discussion point being:
Why Do We Still Experience Issues and Misconceptions on How to Manage NEC Contracts Correctly?
Glenn and Nick will analyse common challenges linked to many projects or contractual procedures, and the necessity of a reliable cloud-based system to prevent these problems. These digital solutions have matured from being beneficial to an indispensable software for completion, given the high demand for seamless project accomplishment.
