What you learn

Scope Review: Spotting Problem Words

Our masterclass kicks off with a deep dive into the art of scrutinising scopes. You'll discover how to dissect documents with a critical eye, identify problem words, and foresee potential pitfalls. By mastering this skill, you'll gain the ability to proactively mitigate issues, ensuring a smoother procurement process from start to finish.

Deciphering Jargon vs. Technical Language

Ambiguous scope can lead to dispute. The objective of all scope writing should be to ensure that anyone can read it and understand what is going to be delivered.

In contracts, jargon and technical language often seem synonymous, but they can be worlds apart. We'll equip you with the tools to differentiate between the two, empowering you to navigate complex terminologies with confidence. This skill will help streamline communication and eliminate ambiguity in your contracts.

Rapid Review Techniques and Early Engagement

With this skill, you'll not only save valuable time but also contribute significantly to cost reduction efforts within your organisation.
