Camouflaged Challenges in Relational Contracting: How to Best Prepare

Join us for an insightful virtual webinar on relational contracting, where we will explore how this innovative approach can generate value beyond mere cost savings. As certified coaches, our speakers have guided numerous companies through the process of establishing successful business relationships.

Despite its many successes, relational contracting often presents challenges that are not easily detected. These camouflaged issues, if left unaddressed, can lead to significant problems.
  • Gain awareness on how to prepare well before the start of the relational contracting development process. We will share practical insights and tangible tools to help you recognize and manage potential challenges along the way.
  • Gain insights on potential solutions to common challenges. In our speaker's recently published book, we delve into these challenges through real-life case studies and provide effective solutions.
  • Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of relational contracting and ensure your business relationships thrive. Don't miss this opportunity to learn and enhance your approach to relational contracting.
