Everything you need to know before joining.
Our purpose.
We bring together people of diverse professional backgrounds who have had an experience with traditional, adversarial contracting - and came away from it with a desire to use a different contracting approach - one that is collaborative and relationships-based - to welcome them into a community of like-minded individuals and enable them with expertise, methods and tools; so that we can, together, build up the collaborative contracting capability of individuals and organizations and harness its power to co-creating amazing and unexpected new sources of value that can catapult industry toward success in a challenging world.
Why participate?
When you join you will be welcomed into a robust community of interesting and knowledgeable peers who are passionate about changing how contracting is done - many of whom are actively evolving their collaborative contracting practices. By participating you will gain access to valuable, practice knowledge resources as well as the opportunity to have a front-row-seat-view of how your peers are implementing collaborative and relationship-based contracting methods. By contributing to the community you can be a vital part of a shared effort to change and improve industry for the better.
