Session One - We must redefine the role of contracting in light of worldwide changes and the business context we live in, but how and where do we start - with our 'trading partners' or ourselves (businesses)? As our world is changing (global reach, green, sustainability, immigration, etc.) so is the business context we work in. That change necessitates a change in the way we interact and contract with our trading partners. Session One is directed at senior leaders and others interested in leading change and will focus on “why” the Contracting organization must change / evolve from an unnecessary cost to a competitive differentiator. We will discuss what happens if you don't redefine the role of the contracting organization and explore the following questions: Who are the key stakeholders (internal and external) that will be impacted by and / or facilitate the change? What are the Stakeholder Decision Drivers? Why it is important to move from competing to collaborating? Why do adversarial relationships with trading partners destroy value? What is the business benefit of making the change happen?

Next Practices Contracting Organization is Different
Why Change?
Will We Ever Get There?
• Contracting is expected to
deliver on corporate goals
– supported by senior
management
– early involvement in
customer / risk management
decisions
• Evaluated on basis of Risk
Management and Value
Creation not the efficiency of
the contracting process
• Raided internally / externally
for talent because it is a
talent factory
• Staffed to maximize impact
– includes best and brightest
– processes, tools & technology
enable value creation
• Leaders in building high
value relationships
• Drives portfolio risk
management
• A single Contracting
organization delivers
excellence to both the buy
and sell side

Client Example: Uncovering Key Decision Drivers
23
Rotating Equipment
The category team reviewed
maintenance and repair data with
suppliers and implemented
“campaign maintenance” strategies
to drive stronger preventative
maintenance
Turbine Engines rated for 40,000
hours now operate for over 150,000
hours
“The Current calculation of Value is
that this team has enabled an
additional $40MM in revenue
enhancement with higher quality
and safety .”
Chemical Management
The team decided to “Spend”
money to motivate suppliers to
provide their best ideas and drive
innovation
In one case, a supplier was
provided a “gain share” for the
successful deployment and
revenue enhancement.
“A Supplier who previously thought
of us as a “nuisance” now looks at
us in a manner that is moving
toward “core” This means that over
the long term we will get the
suppliers BEST ideas and their
BEST resources. Our competitors
will not.”
Catering
Sourcing decided to “give” more
money to suppliers to drive better
performance for the service
Supplier and raise employee
retention
Three Suppliers Implemented a
retention bonus program for
catering contractors
“Contract staff retention has
increased significantly, leading to
better services for employees and
greater employee retention. This is
a competitive differentiator for us.”
