Our Business is Enabling Commercial Officers To Lead
Few commercial relationships and contracts yield their full potential value. The shortfall leads to lost profit, delays, defects and reputation damage. It has been estimated that an enterprise can generate additional profits if the low-yield commercial arrangements were transformed into high-yield contracts and relationships. This sub-optimal performance is rooted in a variety of causes, ranging from flawed processes and tools to ineffective organizational design, from deficient resources to unanticipated cultural restraints.
While most enterprises focus on simply ensuring that overall yield rates avoid negative results, leading practice Commercial Officers pursue the highest overall commercial yield possible.
Here are some of the most effective resources they use:
