This program will focus on improving your negotiation strategies and skills to make you and your staff more effective negotiators in order to better manage project cost growth.

This program will benefit both new and very experienced professionals, by discussing and demonstrating improved negotiation techniques through real-life change order scenarios. Highly qualified presenters will guide participants through simulated change order negotiations to refine negotiation strategies and skills.

The Washington State Auditor's Office will also provide critical guidance on change order documentation and justification requirements for public entities, in view of recent well publicized performance audits of public entity change management practices.
