Assess regulatory and compliance obligations triggered by internal contract approval.
Managing the Internal Contract Approval Cycle
Practical training in internal contract approval, grounded in real cases and applied to your own operation.
Course Overview
The cost of getting internal contract approval wrong is rarely the judgment; it is the years spent reaching it. A contract governing the legal and contractual practice capability that nobody administers is a document, not a control. Comparative studies of this area of legal and contractual practice across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in internal contract approval before they become incidents. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this strand of legal and contractual practice and under-invest in testing it. The programme takes participants through this area of legal and contractual practice end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It is designed for mixed groups, so that internal contract approval is examined from more than one functional angle. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the legal and contractual practice discipline hard in practice. The final session converts the week's work on this strand of legal and contractual practice into commitments with owners and dates.
