Description:

What do contract types have to do with the acquisition team? Everything! The contract type is a decision the team makes together early in the planning phase – it drives how success is measured, the balance of performance and financial risk between the buyer and seller, and how requirements are framed. This session will provide a practical overview of the different contract types and how they impact performance. Learn through practical scenarios and analyzing how proposed contract types impact the risk equation for both the buyer and seller. You’ll leave ready to tackle this decision-making process early and as a team.
