Contract Negotiation: for Library & Information Services

Contracts Negotiation Training for Librarians and Information Services: Level 2

One-day workshop for Information Professionals

Those tasked with negotiating and managing contracts for business information (and associated data types like market data) are faced by some of the most demanding challenges by those involved in procuring products and services for their organisation. Competing stakeholder groups have different (and sometimes contradictory) demands and navigating through this requires specific skills. Suppliers have their own agendas and their reward structure might not be aligned with the business drivers of their clients.
