Zycus issued in last September 2009 an article titled “5 Best Practices Toward Contract Compliance“. In there, You’ll learn about what’s key when looking after contract compliance: Including clauses sticking the contract to market conditions, defining the right contract metrics, not forgetting auditing the standardized contract management processes you should have put in place:
- Create Dynamic Contract Repositories that Reflect Operational Requirements,
- Define, Communicate and Effectively Manage (contracts) to Specified Contract Metrics,
- Institute Regular Contract Audits and Apply Learning to Create Opportunities,
- Standardize and Accelerate Contract Authoring by Maintaining a Contract Template and Clause Library
- Create a Standard Workflow for Collaborative Authoring and Negotiation of Contracts
I always force my juniors and students about keeping your point 2 in mind while working in real life scenarios, thanks for posting this top 5 list.
