Implementing Project Collaboration for Net Zero

***Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been postponed***

We are in uncharted waters in 2022. The journey to achieving Net Zero by 2050 and the associated energy transition represents a significant challenge for the international Engineering and Construction Industry. It also creates an unprecedented opportunity – a consistent pipeline of work for 30 years valued by McKinsey at USD9.2 trillion per year. The war in Ukraine both complicates and accelerates this transition and it’s more important than ever to adopt collaborative strategies for success.

It also creates an unprecedented opportunity – a consistent pipeline of work for 30 years valued by McKinsey at USD9.2 trillion per year.

It is widely accepted that Engineering Construction has a legacy of failing projects – with 70% of projects significantly delayed and/or over budget.  And unless industry fundamentally changes the way in which projects are delivered, Net Zero objectives will not be achieved – and capital investment will be squandered.

Investors and financiers seek certainty and predictable ROI.  Industry can give it to them by adopting best practices in Collaborative Working and Contracting – proven methods that are available but not applied universally as an industry standard.

In the first webinar, we introduced the ECITB’s Project Collaboration Toolkit as a guidance framework for establishing the right relationships and behaviours for successful project collaboration. In the second webinar, we introduced the new Collaborative Working Agreement (CWA) sponsored by the European Construction Institute (ECI).

In this third webinar of our series we address key factors for the implementation of a project that is grounded in principles of collaborative working and contracting;

• Preparation & Setup – What are the most important considerations in deciding to use a collaborative strategy, in establishing an enabling environment and setting up a collaborative project execution.
• Alignment & Selection of Project Parties – Using new relationship sourcing processes to select the ideal parties for collaboration.
• Collaborative Contract Formation – Using the Collaborating Working Agreement (CWA) to provide an appropriate contractual and risk-sharing framework to support collaboration between the project delivery stakeholders.
• Leading & Working Collaboratively – Enabling a shift from an adversarial mindset and project culture to a collaborative project culture.

Speakers include:

• John Fotherby, ECI Chair and Kingsfield Academy Partner
• Tony Maplesden, Project Collaboration Toolkit author, ECITB
• Richard Venerus, Principal, Venerus Advisory Partners
• Gabriele Burian, Managing Partner, Kingsfield Academy
