Academics Network
The purpose of this Network is to provide its members with a forum to share insights to new trends and emerging practices in the fields of contract, commercial and relationship management. We encourage the sharing of research and knowledge across the academic sector, and hope that collaborations amongst the members will lead to new insights and practices, as well as encourage the field of study to grow. A key goal is to grow the visibility of the study of contracts and commercial management along with roads to increased performance and professionalism.
Independent Accountability Mechanisms (IAM), such as the World Bank Inspection Panel, are means to give a voice to affected communities that are directly impacted by development projects financed by IFIs. IAMs contribute to holding these institutions accountable for their decisions through independently administered processes intended to provide affected people with access to recourse and possible redress. The World Bank Inspection Panel, the first example of IAMs, was created in 1993 to investigate claims, made by two or more affected claimants, of noncompliance with Bank policies in the design and implementation of Bank projects. Investment arbitration, on the other hand, has proceeded and is generally understood, as a mechanism that hardly engages local communities. A recent tendency is, however, to take into account to a limited extent the local communities impacted by the investment. Dr Fromageau's project aims at investigating these parallel dynamics between international development law and investment law by adopting a case-law analysis methodology.
The company I work for has boiler plate contracts to use as templates, however these are adapted to ensure a more tailored approach, depending on the individual opportunity. The time spent negotiating recent contracts has increased due to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the potential implications this may have.
Listening now to Rod Wade's message as part of the MOOC's week 2 activity studies. Including Melissa Kargiannakis', founder and CEO of skritswap, words of wisdom for working in the remote/virtual world we are now in is much needed. "Huge helping of autonomy; dash of accountability; generous helping of flexibility; and a pinch of structure." Each "ingredient" she mentioned is the right measure that will make this new workstyle change we are in to be successful.

Hello Everyone, I am currently a procurement specialist with experience in strategic sourcing. I would like to ask if anyone could share a sample statement of requirement/scope of work they have found helpful to adapt or perhaps a procedure on how to write adequate statement of requirement/scope of work. Thank you.
You are invited to nominate to be an elected IACCM Council representative within a particular geography, industry and/or practice area. (Those who participated in the Advisory Board elections have automatically had their tenure extended and do not need to renominate unless they want to represent members in a different community network.).
During this time of COVID-19 layoffs and work closures, it seems unfair that a work email address is required to sign up for IACCM events, rather than, say, a Gmail address This prevents participation and joining some sponsors' webinars I hope this will be taken into consideration quickly
Last year's IACCM Academic Symposiums were sell-out events - and this year promises to be no different! There is broad consensus that contract and commercial management are critical competencies for managing and making sense of today's turbulent markets, so driving and disseminating relevant research is of tremendous importance to business and society more generally.
Hi All, I am a fresh member of the portal. Looking for some insights in regards to defining KPIs. We are a team of 3 Contract Managers and our manager has asked us to define KPIs and create a dashboard biweekly for her to have an insight of what we are doing. I believe the next step will be having score cards to measure the performances. I have been searching the web and thinking about this deeply for some time now. I was only able to come up with 3 KPIs but still need to define 1 more. And I am not sure if this has been answered before. Is there a document I can relate on to? Would appreciate any leading. Thank you in advance.
Hi Would anyone be happy to have a discussion with me, or give me some pointers on managing a JV where you are both a customer, supplier and a shareholder? It would be good to understand how other companies navigate this tricky relationship and if there is any IACCM best practice I should adhere too? I have different contract managers who are responsible for the customer and supplier side to eliminate any conflict of interest, but the whole governance is so much more complex than a straight commercial arrangement. Therefore, if anyone has any experience or observations they would be happy to share, I would really appreciate your help. Kind Regards Jan
I like the idea of asking new employees what their learning style is during the onboarding training period. I too am a visual learner, so by seeing and doing the work first-hand during training helps me to learn better and faster. Good idea as it helps promote inclusion and diversity and increase employee morale as not everyone's learning style is the same and should make the employee comfortable in a new environment.
