Area Breakfast Meeting
"Pro-Active Contract
Administration"
Speaker -
John L. Balentine, C.P.M., CPP
Boy-Howdy! Am I glad that #%&@ contract was
finally approved by the Board! Now I can
forget that nightmare and move on the other
things!
How many times have we heard that (or a
similar) statement? Or worse yet, have you
ever said that yourself? We've all seen the
results! If not a complete train wreck, then
constant difficulties, disagreements,
frustrations and ultimately a very
unsatisfactory experience for both the users
and the supplier.
You will learn show how to avoid such
unsatisfactory outcomes by clearly
delineating five (5) steps necessary for
pro-active contract administration. You'll
learn the terms to avoid when writing
contracts...what pitfalls to avoid and how
to avoid them. Dare we say that "Pro-Active
Contract Administration" might even make
your job easier in this time of ever
shrinking budgets and doing more with less.
