Cross-Corporate Governance and Contractual Alignment
Transforming PMOs to PBMOs with a QualityPMO Focus
Traditional construction project management assumes execution within a single corporate hierarchy where authority is centralized. This workshop bridges standard PMP/PMI-CP practices with the reality of Project Business Professional (PBP) environments, where projects are executed under contract across legally independent organizations. Participants will learn how to transition a standard Project Management Office (PMO) into a Project Business Management Office (PBMO), shifting the focus from internal cost centers to cross-corporate profit centers. By introducing your QualityPMO framework for contractor assurance, this course teaches attendees how to map the multi-tier Project Supply Network (PSN), navigate privity of contract boundaries, and leverage the project charter as a "power instrument" that rewires cross-corporate authority rather than merely documenting scope.
Target Audience: Construction Project Managers, Directors, and PMO Leaders holding PMP/PMI-CP credentials.
Under-the-Gantt Cash Flow Management
Commercial Agility & Liquidity Optimization
In cross-corporate construction, a project can be operationally ahead of schedule and profitable on paper, yet still collapse due to illiquidity. This workshop addresses the high-stakes commercial risks of project business—focusing on cash flow, outlays, and contract awareness. Integrating the PBP philosophy that "revenue is an accounting event, cash is survival", this course introduces your CMBA framework to show how agile fixed-price contract structures, early change mechanisms, and proactive commercial sensing protect contractors and clients alike from distress. Participants will learn how to uncover the financial curves hiding beneath traditional Gantt charts, evaluate bid-day risk, and identify the early operational precursors of costly commercial claims.
Target Audience: Construction Project Managers, Contract Administrators, and Commercial Managers.
Benefit Engineering over Cost Engineering
Collaborative Contract Management & Dispute Resolution
Traditional construction dispute management relies heavily on defensive documentation and legal escalation, which often destroys relationships and project value. This advanced workshop teaches PBF's flagship methodology of Benefit Engineering—the art of resolving conflicts, disputes, or contract constraints by adding asymmetric value to the other party rather than cutting costs. Combining your QualityPMO contractor assurance practices with PBP's relational governance, participants will learn to manage expectations across differing accountability streams. Key topics include conducting Project Business Healing Days, deploying Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), and implementing cross-corporate Codes of Conduct to align diverse organizations around "Completing over Competing".
Target Audience: Senior Project Managers, Project Directors, Executive Sponsors, and Legal Counsel.
