The management of contracts does not end with the conclusion of a contract. Before and after this, there are still a variety of tasks to be performed in the lifecycle of contracts. A good understanding of how contracts "work" and how they are managed over the entire lifecycle is a key success factor in achieving your business goals.

  • What types of contracts are there and what rules are associated with them?

  • How can contracts be handled in a contract management system?

  • What does the typical "life cycle" of a contract look like?

  • Are strategies and objectives coordinated with contract planning?

  • Are contracts actively managed, thereby minimising risks and exploiting potential?

These and many other questions are discussed in detail and, above all, in a practical manner during the training.
