... both choosing a contractor & Project Management ...

... came up at the last session.

If you're signed up to the MCG list, there's a big discussion on how to choose a contractor which has some very useful advice.

I'm awarding a gold star to Pete Rauxloh, Head of IT at the Museum of London for this gem:
"There is ample opportunity in [...] projects for unbridled democracy to run riot and for members of project teams to argue on the basis of opinion, gut feeling and what they think would be best for their area of responsibility. So [...] I would suggest that the tendering board, is also your first draft of the actual project team [...] At the risk of sounding too PRINCE 2 verse 7, I would also suggest that such points are identified as products within the project, and treated as signed off decisions"
