Research & Analytics

I see World Commerce & Contracting (formerly IACCM) as the only organization that delivers value; in terms of benchmarking, in terms of finding out what the latest trends are... Part of that is because the membership freely shares information, which is not the case in every professional association. I know that if I answer a question or a survey, I know other members will do the same and I will get benchmark data within 48h or a week or two. That assurance is very valuable. I would recommend joining World Commerce & Contracting.

The World Commerce & Contracting (formerly IACCM) Capability Maturity Assessment is an extremely powerful tool. The insights and benchmarks provided throughout the assessment helped me in getting senior management buy-in for investments, setting appropriate improvement goals, and building a clear strategy to bring the Contract Management function to the next level. All this has inspired my team and led to improved business partnering, which in turn helped raising the profile of our function. A big thank-you to Tim and his team for their excellent support and advice during this whole process.

I am really impressed with the resources offered by World Commerce & Contracting (formerly IACCM). The research that is being carried out on a continuous basis, I am sure, will greatly benefit the professionalism of contract management – as will the sharing of ideas. I have established my own community of contract managers in parliament and we meet monthly to share ideas and experiences and help each other with current problems. After reading a few World Commerce & Contracting articles over the weekend I had a list of lots of issues I want to consider with my team to ensure we are continuously improving our procurement and contract management functions.
