What does a ‘commercially aligned incentivised enterprise’ look like? And why are we ‘Leading the Future’? Programme and Project Partners (PPP) ❌ 5-year Framework Contracts for the Tier 1s only ✅ 15+ year gold standard Framework Contracts for all strategic suppliers including Tier 3 SME Partners ❌ Frameworks that appoint suppliers on lowest price mini-competitions ✅ Work allocated to enterprise partners, with prices built up on an open book, cost reimbursable basis ❌ High risk contracts with punitive non-performance measures ✅ No delay damages, no pain, no retention. Just profit for performance and delivering outcomes. ❌ Supply chain engaged too late to influence the project’s success ✅ V(very) ECI with partners supporting projects at strategic definition stage, years before a spade in the ground ❌ Lack of investment in the region and limited socio-economic benefit ✅ Real money being invested by businesses to develop facilities, invest in future talent and improve communities ❌ Contractors protecting their own margin and commercial behaviours stifling delivery ✅ Partners with aligned outcomes and commercial drivers to achieve success factors ❌ Dozens of different contracts in the supply chain and inappropriate risk transfer ✅ A centrally drafted NEC4 suite for all tiers of the supply chain with consistent terms and fair risk transfer ❌ What if it doesn’t work? ✅ What if it does? ❗️It takes time, it needs a huge shift in culture and it’ll always be challenging, but investment and commitment to creating the right delivery models can transform outcomes for our projects, communities and supply chains.

It's about to go down. One of my favorite books that I reread a couple times a year is Never Split The Difference by Christopher Voss, so I am looking forward to seeing The CCIM Institute's take on negotiation. When I realized negotiation is deep communication, I think it really changed my business interactions for the better. Movies glamorize the person that pounds their fist on the table, but they don't get the best out comes. #neversplitthedifference #CCIM #GACCIM #RBN #commercialrealestate #commercialrealestate The CCIM Institute Georgia CCIM Retail Brokers Network (RBN)
