Contracts and Fireworks: What the Fourth of July Teaches Us About Performance

The Fourth of July might feel far from contracts and vendor oversight. But look a little closer, and there’s plenty in common.

• Both require planning.

• Both can go sideways if someone skips the fine print.

• Both come with high stakes…hopefully just one just involves more sparklers.

Think about your holiday:

• You expect fireworks to launch on schedule.

• You trust the barbecue crew to deliver ribs instead of excuses.

• You want guests to show up when they said they would not three hours late with soggy potato salad.

We call that performance against expectations.

At MonitorPoint, that’s exactly what we track for your vendors all year long and we make sure deliverables don’t fizzle out like a damp sparkler.

Enjoy the holiday. Stay safe. And remember: contracts, like fireworks, shine brightest when everyone does their part.
