Lessons Learned – Not Theoretical
This program is based on actual lessons learned – not some theoretical course on contract management. It bears of lot of “scar tissue” from maritime contractual disasters. It is designed for
- project management staff who handle day-to-day relations with the other party
- persons who form contracts and specifications
- senior managers who monitor contract-related resources and cash flow
- on-site port engineers and owner’s representatives who ensure that the projects are completed as contractually required, including negotiation of change orders
Meet the Instructor
Dr. Kenneth Fisher is recognized worldwide as the leading authority on the development and management of complex contracts and specifications for ship construction, conversion, repair, and design. He is the author of the 2004 RINA publication, Shipbuilding Specifications: Best Practices Guidelines, and of the 2003 SNAME publication, Shipbuilding Contracts and Specifications. As an arbitrator, expert witness, consultant, and instructor for nearly 30 years, he brings clarity and organization to an otherwise-complex set of management requirements unique to the maritime industry. He is the author of the 2020 book, Shipyard Projects: Planning and Management – Insights, Lessons and Guidance.
Course Presentation
The course is presented via Zoom over four days in a 4.5-hour period daily. Each day, after a live introduction by Dr. Fisher, a pre-recorded lesson is shown, followed by live discussion and answering of questions by Dr. Fisher. After a short break, this is repeated two additional times on each of the four days, for a total of 12 pre-recorded lessons, with Dr. Fisher live between each one to answer questions and engage with the participants.
An in-house presentation can be arranged for your organization’s personnel, cost effective for 9 or more participants. Send request for information to: ordering@fishermaritime.com
