Tell us about your webinar Working to Brief: Applying For and Working to Commission.

This webinar will help you understand the commissioning process from the insider view of the commissioner's perspective, focusing on questions and details such as - What is the commissioner really after? What are they trying to achieve? How should you respond to these?

Exploring a wide range of different types of commission (public and private, large and small scale, permanent and temporary), we will delve into a typical commission timeline, how to manage key relationships, and what questions need to be answered along the way. The topics covered in this webinar can also be applied to small personal commissions to ensure the process is smooth and successful for all parties.

What are the three main objectives of your webinar?

• To equip you with a better understanding of the commissioning process.
• To learn how to know WHEN and IF you are ready.
• How to prepare applications and manage the process successfully.
