    Episode 24 : Not my IT programme - How to stay clear of technology and outsourcing disputes, with Adam Fortune and Gill Hunt

    Disputes can have a devastating impact on technology and outsourcing programmes as they are notoriously time-intensive and expensive to resolve. A case in point was Soteria (erstwhile CIS) v IBM – a high profile IT dispute that was finally decided by the Court of Appeal in 2022. In this episode, we are joined by two special guests Adam Fortune (dispute resolution lawyer) and Gill Hunt (Technology expert witness), who were engaged by the Addleshaw Goddard team representing the successful party in the case. Adam and Gill share their thoughts on whether it is possible to catch disputes early and nip them in the bud. Also, what the optimal ways of managing a dispute are. If you lead or manage IT and outsourcing programmes, however much you hate the thought of a dispute, this is an absolute must-listen!    Link to Adam’s profile on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamfortune/   Link to Gill’s profile on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gillhunt/   Link to the Court of Appeal judgment in Soteria v IBM: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2022/440.html

First up, discover how you can improve your next submission, by identifying the most common traits featured in unsuccessful bids, and learning how to avoid making the same mistakes. Supply proposals haven't really evolved much over the last 10 years, with unsuccessful bidders only being privy to basic feedback about why they lost and their competitor won.  By sharing his expertise, Amit Kapoor will help the supplier community to improve their internal pre sales processes and increase their chance of achieving a successful bid.
