Governance & Transformation

Options

Governance & Transformation Group Charter:

Too much value is lost through weak governance, in particular of large and complex contracts and relationships. We will identify why governance is weak, and how to strengthen it, beyond the carefully drafted words in the contract.

Note that many large and complex relationships require a transformation of how the work is performed today, hence the necessary integration of “Transformation.”

We plan to bring practitioners (lawyers, clients & outsourcers) and academics together to capture a maximum breadth of perspective.

Group Mission/Vision:

We will identify the causes of value leakage and help define best governance practices that drive economic and strategic achievements.

Ask The Expert: 5 things you need to know about emerging tech.

Most of us are aware of the new technologies that are starting to impact business operations, but to date the scale of impact on contract and commercial management is limited. Is that because we undertake tasks that can only be performed by humans, or do we face imminent and disruptive change? IACCM has built strong relationships with many of the leading companies and organizations at the forefront of emerging tech, because it is core to our purpose of helping members understand, adjust and - where needed - re-skill for the future.

Contracts as a driver of employment

How effective can public procurement be in achieving social and political goals? The leadership of the Australian Labour Party is just the latest in a long line of politicians promising a boost to the national and local economy through imposing requirements for the use of local firms and workers when awarding public contracts. It's a policy that grabs headlines and is in many ways laudable, but is it realistic?
