Tim East, Director of Risk Management at The Walt Disney Company, closed the 2017 IRMI Construction Risk Conference with a discussion on relationships between risk managers and contractors, and managing project risks.

East's presentation, "Aligning Owner and Contractor Interests" elaborated on a central idea about how the best outcome of a construction project occurs when there is a shared vision between these two groups of owners and contractors.

In this session, East shared his perspective on how to overcome differences so owners and contractors can align their interests on quality, schedule, price, safety, risk allocation, and other goals to ensure the best project outcome.
