Scrutiny is higher.This programme gives your people the commercial clarity to protect value, manage risk, and make better decisions throughout the contract lifecycle. For organisations managing complex or high-value contracts, the return is rapid and measurable.

Participants will be able to:

  • Understand how contracts make or lose money
  • Identify commercial and contractual risk early
  • Manage variations, scope changes, and suppliers confidently
  • Use KPIs and financial data to assess contract performance

    Through My Lens: From the training

    Contract management and commercial awareness

    This article explores how contract management and commercial awareness function as essential management disciplines rather than mere legal obligations. It argues that business success depends on a professional's ability to connect operational decisions to their financial and contractual consequences. By moving away from reactive habits, organisations can better control scope creep, protect profit margins, and mitigate risks across various departments.
