479: Cardinal Change
Change happens. Even in, and especially in, government contracts. Life happens….circumstances change…requirements change. Change happens.
However, not all changes are equal. In episode 478, we talked about the 3 levels of changes:
- Green light changes are unilateral
- Yellow light changes are negotiated
- Red light changes are not allowed
A Red light change is sometimes referred to as a “Cardinal Change”. In this episode, we explain what Cardinal Changes are, along with some steps on how to spot them, and why they are bad for both government and industry.
