Best Value: NEOGARD Sustainable Roofs
This seminar will introduce a Best Value Model that allows all participants to win in an environment of efficiency, effectiveness, and measurement. Most project delivery processes transfer risk from one party to another and do not actually reduce or minimize it. Often times, the procurement staff cannot predict if the contractor or service provider will perform (on-time, within budget, and high quality work). Specifications do not always guarantee the performance of the selected contractor. Instead specifications or minimum standards actually forces contractors to lower their level of quality. Contractors are only meeting the standard and not performing above it. Facility/Project Managers do not have enough time to
“manage” the “expert”. Performance measurements need to be simple, logical, and effective in motivating a change of behavior and culture. It can be used to minimize the importance of management, leading to a more efficient, high quality, performing service in any relationship between a buyer and vendor, between vendor and sub-vendor. Don’t be fooled by expensive software systems to solve problems instead use logic models to simplify the process, create change and continuous improvement. You will learn in this seminar how a client/buyer/facility or project manager can get vendors to think in their behalf by transferring both risk and control, without having to “trust” the vendor.
