Contract Management Skills for Local Government
Working with your contractors towards mutual goals is far better then butting heads at every step
The role of the contract manager in LG has changed dramatically. New responsibilities get tacked onto the role with an alarming frequency. So this course was designed to modernise the skill set of contract managers. Participants will also discover how to build better relationships with vendors. These stronger relationships will help buffer the differences that arise in the contract.
Description
This unique course covers the critical skills that contract managers need including consultation advocacy, influence, negotiation and conflict resolution which are critical to the role. The course does not cover sourcing, tendering or writing contracts as it is assumed that the participants already have these skills.
This course was designed as a reflection and action workshop for the contract management team. What’s working well? What could be improved?…
