Training Overview

When’s the last time you looked at your contracts? Learn how to maximize benefits for your organization.

As businesses continue to face massive budget concerns from inflation and the pandemic, it might be time to take a look at your commercial contracts. Whether your organization is a customer or supplier, you are likely not getting the full value your commercial contracts are designed to deliver. Numerous research initiatives have estimated the value loss to represent up to 10% of a company’s profit. In many organizations, employees are the most significant source of decreased yield.

You can stop these losses by discovering where people are making egregious negotiation mistakes, educating their team and stakeholders, mismanaging the relationship, and monitoring outcomes.
