NEC CONTRACTS COACHING

Why This Matters

NEC contracts do not fail because they are unclear.They fail because they are not actively managed as intended.

Early warnings are missed. Programmes are accepted but not used. compensation events are poorly administered.

This programme builds confidence, discipline and practical competence in applying NEC as a collaborative and proactive contract.
