PM 304 Procurement and Contracts Project

Under any circumstances, the purchase of systems and services for your organization can be a complex undertaking, requiring a working knowledge of fundamental procurement and contract issues. In the next few years, with industries facing changes in business and technology drivers and scrambling to comply with the numerous and evolving legal requirements of doing business, having a working knowledge of procurement/ contract issues and concepts will become even more important. This session discusses some of the essential and proven tools necessary to competently deal with issues likely to arise in a typical vendor selection and contract negotiation. These same tools can be used to assist executives during even the thorniest of issues related to service purchases and implementations. Led by Buddy Gillespie.
