What competencies do Contract Management professionals actually need?

Contract Management is becoming more complex.

Professionals working with contracts are increasingly expected to combine commercial judgement, legal understanding, stakeholder management, data, technology and practical contract execution.

But the competence needs are not the same for everyone.

They depend on role, responsibility, industry, contract type and where you work in the contract lifecycle.

That raises an important question:

Are current approaches to competence development actually aligned with what professionals need in practice?

To explore this, we are conducting a short survey on competence development in Contract & Commercial Management.

We would like to understand:

• which competencies professionals see the greatest need to strengthen
• how important practical, theoretical and domain-specific learning is
• which learning formats are preferred
• what prevents professionals from investing more in competence development
• how needs differ across roles and contract environments

The survey only takes a few minutes to complete.

Your responses will help us build a more grounded picture of how Contract Management competence should be developed and will contribute to our forthcoming work on competence development and professionalisation in CCM.

If you work with contracts, we would really value your perspective.
