Contracts Management Value - Changing the Corporate Culture
I am a new Contracts Manager at a global information services company. This is a new position to the company, so I am effectively starting from scratch. I am running into a problem where many members of the Sourcing/Procurement organization enter incomplete information in our Contracts Management system, or do not appropriately map documents together (MSA attached independently of applicable SOW, NDA, etc). Many of them view the logging as a burden rather than an integral part of identifying savings opportunities and keeping accurate records of our vendors. Also, we are switching CM systems later this year, and my fear is that if the culture does not change, the enhancements offered by the new system will be undermined by the inaccurate/incomplete data.
Have any of you dealt with similar problems, and if so, what processes/tips did you implement to increase adoption of your systems? Thanks for all of your input, including what worked, and what didn't.
