Five truths you will inevitably face

1. The instructions within offers, counter offers, specifications, regulations and contracts are the back bone of most businesses
   and government departments.
2. Managers are often responsible, accountable and liable for
   complying with instructions; and unfortunately ignorance is no
   excuse in the eyes of the law. The consequence of
   misunderstanding and not complying with these can often be
   major.
3. Most of business and government instructions are written in
   complex confusing legalese, even the ones that are supposed to
   be in plain English.
4. Due the modern business pressures and distractions, most people
   do not have the time to interrogate these instructions as they
   know they should; and are consequently taking huge risks.
5. Unnecessary costs come from:

• complying with the wrong instructions
• complying with multiple instructions, only to find that that
  your organisation actually had a choice
• complying with an instruction, to later find, that it only
  needed to be complied with in a particular situation
• complying with an instruction, only to find that your
  organisation was exempted from complying with it
• complying with instructions to early or to late

Mustor Bootcamp aims to reduce this risk by giving some simple, yet
effective techniques on how to quickly interrogate even the most
complicated of contracts and regulations.
