Govern the full life of every contract — before and after signature.
WHEN CONTRACTING BECOMES AN OPERATION
A contract may begin as a draft, but reaching agreement can involve different participants, versions, conditions, approvals and systems. And the work does not necessarily end when the contract is signed.
Content keeps changing
Different parties carry different responsibilities
Approval depends on the current situation
The contract continues after signature
Contract Operations is an operating model for keeping the contract, its content, parties, decisions and history connected throughout its operational life. The agreement can change. Different work can begin and end. The contract remains the continuous reference point.
FROM CREATION TO CLOSURE
A contract becomes easier to govern when its current condition is clear, the actions available at each stage are explicit and change does not break its history.
A contract becomes governable when its current condition is clear, its actions are controlled and every change remains part of the same contractual history.
