Course Overview

Inventory tied up in compensation and penalty clauses is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Single sourcing on penalty clauses looks efficient until the day it is not. Mature organisations treat this area of procurement and supply operations as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of compensation and penalty clauses rather than to abstract argument. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this strand of procurement and supply operations. The programme converts penalty clauses from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what compensation and penalty clauses has actually achieved. What blocks progress on penalty clauses is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this area of procurement and supply operations ready to put in front of a decision maker.
