Well prepared agreements create the basis and trust for good cooperation between the parties. Contract design and data management are an essential part of a good agreement process. It is also good to understand the key friction points when planning agreements. We also see that contract management is becoming a more and more essential competency in companies. These issues will be discussed in this episode together with Tim Cummins, President, and Sally Guyer, Global CEO, both from World Commerce and Contracting Association, and Eero Halmari, Concept Development Manager from Valmet.
