About the Course
Effective contract management is crucial for organisations aiming to optimise their operations, mitigate risks, and achieve strategic objectives. Strategic Contract Management goes beyond the traditional administrative tasks of drafting and executing contracts; it involves a proactive approach to aligning contractual agreements with broader organisational goals.
This intensive 5-day Strategic Contract Management training course is designed to equip delegates with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in strategic contract management roles. They will learn the fundamentals of strategic contract management, exploring key principles and methodologies for developing robust contract strategies. Understanding the legal frameworks, compliance requirements, and risk assessment strategies involved in contract management will form the foundation of this course. Delegates will learn effective vendor selection criteria, methods for building strong partnerships, and strategies for monitoring vendor performance. This includes addressing potential issues and disputes during the contract lifecycle and fostering collaborative problem-solving approaches to maintain productive vendor relationships. Through interactive sessions and practical case studies, they will learn to draft clear and concise contract terms, ensuring contractual clarity and precision throughout the lifecycle of agreements.
Moreover, this training program will focus on optimising contract performance by establishing key performance indicators (KPIs), continuous monitoring, and reporting mechanisms. Strategies for contract renewal, negotiation tactics, and closure processes will also be explored, equipping delegates with the skills to evaluate contract success, plan for renewals or terminations, and implement continuous improvement strategies in contract management practices. Delegates will be prepared to navigate the complexities of strategic contract management confidently, contributing to organisational success through enhanced contract efficiency, compliance, and strategic alignment.
