According to Contract Management Benchmark Report from Aberdeen
Group, poorly constructed clauses incur huge business losses to
as high as “$153 billion per year in missed savings, opportunities and increased risks”. In addition, many companies are faced with
diffi culties to increase their profi t margin when negotiating for better
terms and fees while holding their suppliers accountable when
potential contract breach or dispute arises.
The problem here is that most companies faced diffi culty in drafting,
structuring and managing an effective, well-structured commercial
contract due to poor use of contractual language, unclear contract
clauses and ambiguous provisions. In addition, companies are
hindered by the lack of knowledge and techniques in structuring and
developing good negotiation and risk mitigation strategies to increase
profi tability and hold your supplier accountable when contract
disputes and complications arises.
Without in-depth knowledge and good application techniques of
effective drafting and fee negotiation skills, companies may face
project delays, miscommunication, misunderstanding and adverse
business impacts such as profi t loss and high legal charges.

program will help you master contract drafting and negotiation.
