You get an energized session filled with reflections and concrete touch points for You who work with procurement and your supply chain.
Find solutions, think about your contracts as marriage guidance, not a prenup for a divorce, and then build them to support the way that we’re all going to need to work slightly differently going forward.

Reflections from the past months

There is a problem in the flow of cash in currency and capital. There is a lack of visibility of what is going on in different countries. There is completely disruptive restrictions of borders in terms of what can move and how it can move and stuck in the middle of all of that.Our commercial, legal, procurement, supply chain teams, trying to get visibility of what’s happening, and struggling in the face of everybody else, trying to do it at the same time.

And now we’re trying to work out whether or not we can get it and frantically we’re looking around for our contracts, a lot of commercial agreements to work out, who’s got to do what, to try and unpick it?
And I don’t think it’s an understatement to say that on a scale of big, real, hairy challenges – this is right up there.
How do You work with your commercial agreements in times of crisis?
