Plan the handover of signature authority matrices so that capability is not lost when key staff move on.
Designing Authority and Contract Signature Matrices
An applied course in signature authority matrices built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
The cost of getting signature authority matrices wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. Legal exposure on the practice within legal and contractual practice accumulates through routine decisions taken without advice. Ambition around this strand of legal and contractual practice outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in signature authority matrices, not around theory headings. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the wider legal and contractual practice agenda, ready to be adapted internally. The programme works equally well for those formalising the practice within legal and contractual practice for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The most reliable predictor of sound signature authority matrices is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from the legal and contractual practice capability, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of legal and contractual practice that each participant writes for their own organisation.
