Workshop overview
NEC4 – Operational Workshops are part of Concordia’s Beyond the Clauses training series. These are facilitated sessions built around the situations your team needs to work through, with the content and participating roles agreed for each workshop.
A session might involve running an early warning meeting, assessing a compensation event or reviewing a programme for acceptance. The emphasis is on applying the contract and working through the decisions together.
Participants discuss what action to take, who is responsible and what information they need. The discussion follows the decisions and communications needed to deal with the situation.
