Negotiations, Liability & Experience

It is extremely important that Event & Program Management is approached professionally at your organization. Along with amazing experiences, comes the reality of liability through contracting, negotiation, insurance and much more.

In my experience, these "tasks" are often given to already over-burdened and often untrained support staff. As you think about your portfolio, if you answer no to any of the below questions, you are leaving your organization open to unnecessary risk and potential financial loss.

Is the project owner trained in contracts and negotiation?

Are you allowing multiple signatories to sign contracts for your organization without thorough review of the legal & business terms by a professional? This can have implications as simple as monetary loss due to rescheduling and as severe as legal implications for terms not being adhered to during the contract period.

Are they ensuring you are properly covered through insurance review?

Not only is it important to have insurance requirements for vendors that are working with your organization, but it is equally important to understand how it applies in the event it is needed and where the gaps are to make informed decisions on risk.

Has the cost of a professional been weighed against the cost of inexperience?

Professionals have extensive networks of contacts & relationships across the industry that take years to form. This results in the best price, highest quality services and guaranteed reliability. The cost savings across these factors often outperform the elimination of the fees of adding a professional to your project team.
