Determining when to use a vendor and how to select and manage a vendor effectively can make or break even the most carefully planned project. Understanding the factors that determine the most appropriate vendor relationship is crucial to your success. Proactive involvement in establishing the vendor relationship, from selecting the vendor, determining the appropriate type of contract, to establishing the contract terms is essential to effective vendor management and to the success of your project.
In this course, you'll be introduced to a unique model to help determine the most appropriate vendor relationship to address your various project needs. The course covers what you need to know to influence the contracting process in order to establish more effective, long-term, win-win relationships with capable, compatible “partners.” It explores activities that are essential to effective vendor selection and management: articulating the right requirement, building the right relationship, finding the right partner, structuring the right contract and maintaining the right attitude between the parties.
The course will examine the pros and cons of three alternative contractual relationships: arm's-length, collaborative and alliance. Emphasis is placed upon structuring and managing effective collaborative relationships. An integrated case study and appropriate exercises are used throughout the course to apply the lessons learned to real-world scenarios.
Reminder: This is not a course in the basics of contract management. It assumes that the student has already taken Contracting for Project Managers, Commercial Contract Management, Federal Contracting Basics or has equivalent experience involving contract management.
