Getting Results without Authority
Live Online Webinar
Organisations have changed – there is now a mix of top-down authority and work where no single person is always “the boss.”
Between matrix organisations, flatter structures, contracting, and outsourcing, success often depends on gaining the cooperation of people and resources that you do not have direct authority over. Great leaders and managers find success through influence and negotiation. They focus first on gaining employees’ respect and trust. They build up credibility through consistent action and leadership. They listen and provide support, thereby laying the groundwork for future support and influence.
PMI has partnered with Dale Carnegie to bring you this one hour webinar, in which you will learn the characteristics you need to have, and actions you need to take, to get maximum results from people who don’t work directly for you. You’ll learn how to influence others by building authentic trust, credibility, and respect, thereby gaining their willing cooperation when you need it most.

Navigating GC21 Cooperative based Contracting: Standard form terms
November 26 2020
Engineering & Construction Management meet-up
About the Topic:
The Cooperative Contracting model commenced in NSW Government close to 25 years ago, emerging from Partnering, adapting into C21 and progressing into GC21. The contract continues to develop while attracting broader Government interest for the delivery of diverse Construction projects valued between $1m and $1B.
GC21 encapsulates unique relationship development features which has set the tone for practices which have now become relatively standard in many parts of the Construction sector. So what has made GC21 so popular and what may be the opportunities for improvement? Some of the answers relate to unique GC21 terms and processes involving:
• Variations
• Delay costs
• Site Conditions
• Extensions of Time
• Design responsibilities
• Dispute Resolution processes
• Stakeholder Relationship development
In this presentation, we journey from contact beginnings across diverse stakeholder groups and multiple jurisdictions to delve into the emerging future opportunities in what may have been the largest and longest Cooperative based contracting experience and or experiment in Australia, in recent times.
