From transformations to major implementations, even building and infrastructure projects, large projects often run significantly over budget and schedule. Why does this happen? And how can we, as involved professionals, contribute to preventing this? During this webinar, Bart van Reeken (Partner) and Merel Hazes (Senior Associate) will demonstrate how strategic contractual choices in the initial phase can determine the difference between project success and failure. What you will learn:

• Why large projects often derail
• How effective planning, governance and risk management increase the chances of success
• How lawyers can add value as strategic partners in large projects

Drawing on their extensive expertise in IT, outsourcing and strategic contracting, as well as the insightful book "How BIG Things Get Done" by Oxford Professor Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner, Bart and Merel will explore these topics through practical examples. Who should attend? This session is designed for in-house lawyers, legal counsels, procurement professionals, project managers, directors, compliance officers and all others engaged in large project contracting or management.
