This Ask the Expert session on 'how Commercial Can Add Value to the Organisation' will feature a dialogue between two IACCM Fellows and highly experienced Commercial Management experts. In this conversation, Andy and Paul will share examples of real-life situations from their personal experience where good Commercial Contract Management has enabled better business results, and how that was done. These examples will cover a wide range of experiences from deal negotiations and managing contracts post-award. Distinctions will be drawn between average business performance and the skills, attributes and strategies used to achieve exceptional results.
Rapid adaptability and a readiness to change: those are critical characteristics if we want to flourish in times of uncertainty. So that means we must be ready to do things differently, to respond to change by quickly grasping the ways that our work and output must adjust.

Adjusting your goals doesn't just require a shift in strategy-it also requires a shift in mindset. You can't expect to set realistic, relevant, and meaningful goals if you're not in the right headspace. We recently chatted with Arianna Huffington-founder and CEO of Thrive Global, and the author of fifteen books, many of which are focused on mental health-about coping with difficult times. Arianna shared some of her research-backed tips for mindset shift that can help you adjust your goals during challenging times.
The bottom line? Deep down, we know business can be done better, and still be highly profitable. It's the dueling motivations of fear and love that trip us up.
Hi, I have moved to Australia (Sydney) and I haven't seen any job related to Commercial Management (Apart from Construction industry) or any job where IACCM is required as a qualification. Is IACCM professional in demand in Australia or IACCM is only suitable for UK companies. Moreover I am looking for job and I would really appreciate if anyone can guide/help me. I am open for any position.

Hello All, I have been working as a Commercial Manager for 6.5 years, responsible preparation and negotiation commercial contracts for high value complex transactions(FIDIC etc). I have a bachelors degree in electrical/electronic engineering and a masters degree in power systems engineering. My concern arose when I looked for job opportunities for a commercial manager outside my organisation, almost all job posting required a law degree. I am unsure whether or not I should purse a law degree to give myself the best change for future job opportunities. Your thought/ideas are well appreciated.
Dear all, My name is Charles, I am 20 years old and I am currently in my 2nd year of bachelor's in business administration in Paris. I recently took an online course on the essential negotiations' skills. I am now looking for an opportunity to sharpen and develop these skills in a practical approach. I discovered the IACCM during one of the lectures. Since then, I took a closer look to the expertise of this association and found myself very attracted to the contract management and commercial management. I will be in Paris from end of May until the end of August 2019 and would like to know if there were any opportunities for me to improve my knowledge during an internship. If, anyone, is looking for an intern for an approximate duration of 2 months. You can contact me at derriencharles5@gmail.com Thank you for reading, Charles Derrien
Have members noticed decline in remuneration packages in the UK and Europe? There seems to be a distinct trend in recruitment to aggrandise job titles. Data input and procurement clerks are now being termed "Contract Managers". Further, certain major employers (esp in renewables) are holding down remuneration by stating "...offering i.r.o. 35k" for complex, multi million dollar, senior contracts management positions and rejecting any professional looking for a respectable reward.
Dear All, I am a fully qualified Petroleum Engineer with over 4 years of experience in the oil and gas sector. I am also a fully qualified Project Manager with certificates in PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner. For sometime now I have been trying to enter the field of contract management. To this end, in order to appeal to potential employers, I have been progressively diversifying my CV by successfully accomplishing course related to Contract Management. I am very keen to make inroad into contract management positions. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Arash
Can anyone provide the names - or links to a list of - recruiters that serve the contract management industry? I am looking to transition into the field in Toronto. Thanks.
My company is migrating to an cloud-based Oracle ERP (finance and accounting) system. Our agreement allows us use of Oracle's procurement and contract management modules, but a call with Gartner suggested that Oracle's contract management system is not best-in-class and not necessarily used by Oracle ERP customers despite the ready integration with other Oracle ERP systems. The large consulting firm chosen to implement Oracle ERP at our company has not proven knowledgeable about available alternatives. We'd like to engage a consultant with deep experience with the top CLM solutions, to better understand what features and functionality are available with solutions other than Oracle, and potentially to help us develop and run an RFP with a few providers. We're a medium-sized (~650 employees) company in the financial services sector in the US that is considered a "financial market utility." As a practical matter, we have no sell-side contracts, only buy-side contracts, mostly from supplier paper, with only a few types (NDAs, consulting agreements, etc.) on our own paper. Please let me know if you have any recommendations. Thank you.
Has anyone ever come up with a good alternative name for "procurement" or "purchasing" to try and change the image procurement managers have within an organisation? In my experience, we can be seen as more of an obstacle to be jumped over or by-passed completely, rather than someone that can be worked with to make their own lives easier. And some project managers don't even understand what procurement actually means and how it applies to the projects they do. A name change won't change a culture overnight, but it's a start to change people's perceptions.
