Contract, Procurement Management and Negotiation Skills

with Mansoor Mohammed

COURSE OVERVIEW

With the majority of an organisation’s spend being under contracts with suppliers, service providers, vendors, and consultants, contract management is one of the core activities of a modern organisation.

But contracts do not manage themselves. People choose what aspects are managed given their skill and time constraints. We under-invest in contract management and we often just administrate contracts, rather than design and drive the strategies that yield high-performance outcomes.

This workshop is designed to help you transcend the traditional, more administrative role that has been the nature of contract management here. This course is ideal for those ready to drive contract management to new levels at your organisation. You recognise your organisation’s need to think strategically, think long-term, and think results.
