Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Organisations rely on consultants, advisers, designers, engineers, auditors and other professionals for expertise they do not have in-house. Professional services contracts are different from contracts for goods or works: the output is often advice or design, quality is harder to define, and the professional's duty of care, independence and liability are central concerns.
This Consultancy and Professional Services Agreements training course explains how to procure, draft and manage contracts for professional services. Participants learn how to define scope and deliverables, choose fee structures, set the standard of care, manage key personnel and conflicts of interest, allocate intellectual property, limit liability, require professional indemnity insurance and manage performance and change.
The course is relevant to both clients appointing consultants and firms providing professional services.
