APM webinar sponsored by the Thames Valley Branch on 29 September 2021.
Speaker:
Richard Patterson, NEC4 drafter and Procurement & NEC Specialist at Mott MacDonald
NEC has clear mechanism for risk allocation for specific events. Is it a compensation event, or not? And it has a clear, detailed and flexible process for managing and agreeing the assessment of those compensation events. Effective management of the process is key to dispute avoidance under NEC. This webinar was held on 29 September 2021.
Hear about the importance of the F word - forecast. Change control is critical to the finances of any supplier - so you need to know how to use the process.

Project Controls Expo, 18th Nov 2014 - "NEC3 Contracts – Managing Risk and Ch...Project Controls Expo
Traditionally many Contractors (and even Employers) see following the contract or being contractual as a very negative. The NEC3 suite of contracts command a different approach and this session will explore the benefits of being contractual, and how it will help both Parties to manage their project and understand exactly where they both are in terms of liability throughout their project. A key aspect of this is approach to the management of regular revised programmes, which compared to other forms of contract have a much higher contractual significance under NEC3.
The importance of 3 Core NEC Time Clauses when submitting a programme.docxMy own
Programme Acceptance
It is important to first explain the key differences in Programme Acceptance between NEC3 and NEC4 Contract Types.
As covered in our past article, within NEC3 in the absence of a Project Manager’s response, the contract provided that the programme was simply ‘not accepted’, putting all the risk onto the Contractor in allowing the Project Manager to to withhold 25% of the price of work done to date if the Contractor does not provide a programme in accordance with Cl.31.
Within NEC4 the position is improved and the contract includes a provision whereby in the absence of a Project Manager’s response to the submitted programme within two weeks, the Contractor can serve notice of a further week. After this, if there is still no response then the contractor’s programme is ‘deemed accepted’ under the contract.

APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 11 April 2024.
Speaker: Carole Osterweil
Data is power. AI changes everything.
If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings?
In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions.
“We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact.
One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime.
The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!”
This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022.
You’ll come away with:
a clear understanding of how the human brain works.
a framework that:
explains ‘why people behave as they do’.
makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set)
new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder.
Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.
AI in the project profession: examples of current use and roadmaps to adoption webinar

Content description:
Disruptive technology and accelerating change is the now the norm within business. Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession.
To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals.
This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.
Katharine works for WRAP which is a climate action NGO working in more than 40 countries around the globe to tackle the causes of the climate crisis and give the planet a sustainable future. In this session, you will learn about WRAP’s plastics programme and how sustainability has been incorporated as a core value in delivery of the programme, with the aim of inspiring the audience to take action in their own work.
Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology.
However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button.
Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt.
Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering:
What do I need to know about AI right now?
If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful?
Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare?
Sarah’s expertise in advanced agile and experience in highly regulated Finance environments give her a unique perspective into balancing governance with technical innovation. She uses her own experience building an AI solution in 2023 to share practical, widely applicable concepts in an “AI for project managers” 101 style session.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Plan
12. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 12
But first….why NEC? Why compensation events?
• Client decision to invest in good
management to….
• ….keep better control of their
project
13. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 13
• Main (payment) option A-F determines allocation of
• Quantity risk
• Efficiency risk
• Some secondary options are specifically for risk
allocation – eg:
• X1 Price adjustment for inflation
• X2 Change in law
• But for specific events……
Pre-award - Risk allocation
14. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 14
Compensation event - principle
• The compensation events are
events which, if they occur, and do not
arise from the Contractor’s fault, entitle
the Contractor to be compensated for
any effect the event has on the Prices,
Key Dates and the Completion Date
only rights are to change Prices and
Completion Date (63.4 (ECC4 63.6) )
• Key to risk allocation and
management under ECC
15. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 15
• 19 (ECC4, 21) are stated in subclause 60.1
• 3 more are stated in main Options B & D
• Also in secondary Options
• X2, X12.3(6) & (7), X14.2, X15.2, Y2.4
and
• possibly option Z if used to
modify risk profile (ECC3)
ECC compensation events
Where?
• possible ‘assumptions’ stated in

16. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 16
• (1) PM gives an instruction changing
the Works Information (ECC4 Scope)
• (2) The Employer does not allow
access to and use of part of the Site
…. Accepted Programme
• (3) The Employer does not provide
something he is to provide….Accepted

• (5) Default by Employer or Others
• (12) The Contractor encounters

• (13) A weather measurement is
recorded…less frequently than
once in ten years

Risk Register
• In Contract Data - from both
Employer (Part 1) and Contractor
(Part 2):
• The following matters will be
included in the Risk Register:
………………………
20. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 20
• The Risk Register is a
register of
• the risks which are listed in
the Contract Data and
• the risks which the Project
Manager or the Contractor
has notified as an early
warning matter
• So the Risk Register is a
post-contract risk
management tool and
NOT a place for risk
allocation
Risk Register (Cl 11.2 (14))
21. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 21
• Why were they used?
• Should a ‘provisional
programme’ allowance to go
with it?
• ECC requirement is to
construct in accordance with
the Works Information
• ‘provisional sum’ is not used
• Instead state best
assumptions in Works
Information about what is
required
• When assumptions need
to be changed, then
change the Works
Information….
• ….which will be a
compensation event
What happened to provisional sums?

• Need to agree you want
to manage them… and
monitor progress
• Keep to clear processes
and timescales in contract
• The team needs:
• Accepted Programme and
programming skills
• QSs that understand cost
and risk and the
Contractor’s cost system
• An agreed format for
quotations
• A way of working
with Contractor
for acceptable
quotations
• Negotiation skills –
and empowerment
• Use Project

• Roll up the little ones?
You need to actively manage compensation events from day 1
37. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 37
• The will and resources to
manage compensation
events
• A collaborative approach
• Contractor and PM staff
working side by side
• Joint systems
• Routine monitoring of
progress (NEC ‘health
checks’)
• Routine (weekly) CE
meetings
• To keep to timescales –
ASAP!
For effective compensation management you will need….
38. 30/09/2021 c. Mott MacDonald | NEC compensation events 38
• Agree the sub-clause
• Be clear on the desired
outcome
• eg clear changes to Works
Information
• Discuss alternatives (62.1) for
‘alternative ways’
• Technical alternatives
• With/without delay to
Completion Date
• With/without PM assumptions
• Discuss risks and so any
possible Project Manager
assumptions (61.6)
• Changes to Contractor’s
working?
• Change to Completion
Date?
• Change to Defined Cost?
• Review before formal

• The (ECC) PM updates the Risk Register (RR) and may also be
the client’s pm who manages the (project) risk register (prr)!
• RR has a subset of the columns of the prr
• RR may have risks (rows) that do not merit going on the prr and
• prr many have higher level project risks (rows) that do not belong
on the RR
• Can we manage this as one database / spreadsheet?
• Need to keep the ECC Risk Register simple and used
A project risk register and Risk Register ECC4:
‘Risk Register’
is now the
‘Early Warning Register’
