Contract Management After Signature

Value is negotiated at signature and lost during delivery. This programme covers the operational discipline of contract management: mobilisation, performance regimes that are actually enforced, variation handled before it becomes a dispute, and exit planned from the start.

It runs 7 times over the published calendar, in 6 cities and live online. Every date is the same programme with the same content and the same certificate.

• Mobilise a contract so obligations are understood on both sides.
• Operate a performance regime that is enforced rather than reported.
• Handle variation and change before it escalates.
• Plan exit and transition from the outset.

Contract managers, supplier relationship managers, and operational leads accountable for supplier performance.

Short input, then work. Across 3 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.

• Your own material

  Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.

• A capped cohort

  Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.

• Practice under scrutiny

  The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.

• Something to take back

  Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.

• A mobilisation checklist and obligations register.
• A performance regime with defined consequences.
• A variation process with authority thresholds.
• An exit plan template.

A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.

Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.
