Advanced Contract Management Training

Advanced Contract Management Training Course

Effective and efficient decision making – Some organizations take a while to make contract management decisions, by which time, memories are faded and unresolved issues become a serious obstacle to deliver the contract results. In contrast, effective and efficient decision making avoids and resolves these problems more quickly and satisfactorily, and once you have learnt how to do it, you will immensely boost your career and help your organisation.

Prompt paying – Some organizations take 45, 60, or more days to pay their invoices, which is costly to their contractors and suppliers. You will learn that if you agreed a 30-day payment with your contractors and your suppliers, you will be able to use this to your advantage. Also, payment by delivered milestones will be addressed.

Effective claims resolution – In order to avoid contractor’s claims and counteract them effectively, the Contract Manager has to develop an understanding of contract types, effective contract management techniques, and contract law and project management. You will learn in this advanced course how to resolve this great challenge. Ideally, in case of dispute you may go for arbitration or mediation and avoid a costly litigation.
