NCMA NES: Collaborative Problem Solving for Contract Managers

The speakers at this event are Glenn Richardson, MBA and Heidi Timmerman, MBA, CPCM, NCMA Fellow, NCMA Director

In an environment that increasingly relies on contracting leaders and managers to drive innovative solutions, collaborative problem solving has become a non-negotiable skill. There is clear evidence that collaboration leads to better results than can be achieved by individual contributors. Driving meaningful collaboration can be challenging for contracting leaders who manage a wide variety of stakeholders, sometimes with competing priorities.

This seminar will explore specific strategies for solving complex contracting problems through collaboration and provide hands-on practice building high-trust relationships, fostering a collaborative environment, using emotional intelligence and problem-solving models to lead a team solution, leveraging collaboration tools and technology, and avoiding common collaboration pitfalls.
