The Role of a Contract Manager

This series of three articles tracks the continuing development of the contract management role and purpose. It illustrates that, over a ten year period, there have been significant changes in the strategic importance of contract management as a competency. This is true in both public and private sector.\r
Change is challenging and increasingly there is a question over the balance between individual expertise and organisational capability. In other words, is the future of contract management that it will flourish as a professional discipline, or will it rather become an activity which is embedded across the organisation? It is likely that the answer will be a mixture of the two and indeed that a key role of the contract management professional will be to ensure the delivery of capability through appropriate empowerment and technology deployment.\r
