2:40 PM Workshop: No More Bank-And-Forth: Working Closely With Legal To Develop A Contracting Playbook To Streamline Processes
Contracting is challenging enough and working with legal doesn't have to make it harder. By collaborating effectively and creating a joint contracting playbook, procurement teams can clarify mandates, risk appetites, and timelines, turning a complex process into a streamlined, efficient workflow.
Key takeaways:
- Working with legal to create a joint playbook that translates policies into practical contracting rules
- Training procurement teams on how to use the playbook effectively
- Scheduling regular meetings with legal to keep the playbook up to date
- Developing clear escalation procedures to minimize back and forth
- Embedding CLM best practices into sourcing, negotiation, and renewal processes to improve visibility, cycle times, and compliance across the contract lifecycle
