Risk Management: The Uncomfortable Truth - And A Better Way Forward
Following the release of our last edition of Contracting Excellence (which focused on risk), complaints from sell-side members about the 'unreasonableness' of Procurement have reached a new pitch. They perceive increased inflexibility and increasingly one-sided terms and conditions - neither characteristic resulting in improved risk management. Yet Procurement executives seem to believe they are performing increasingly well when it comes to the management of risk. What's the truth?

It has been about 18 months since IACCM introduced its web-based 'communities of interest'. Today, we have more than 50 flourishing groups of practitioners and experts, many of them with more than 2,000 members drawn from organizations around the world. It provides IACCM members with a unique networking and information forum. But are they gaining from it?
