Vibe Summit

The IACCM Vibe Summit will take place from Monday 21 – Thursday 24 September 2020 and will harness the true power of the virtual world, allowing members around the globe to share, learn, network and collaborate. We’re facilitating what will be one of the largest global gatherings of IACCM Members. Whilst we trust that in the not too distant future, we will return to our face-to-face conferences, we are excited in the meantime to bring a fully immersive conference experience to a virtual platform.

2020 - Time for a connected vision. Purpose and Relationships in an era of Servitization

In the last 20 years, the global economy has changed dramatically. E-commerce, social media, the sharing economy, a networked world, emerging technologies, all transforming the way that we live and work.

The old adage of “change has never been so fast and will never be so slow again” doesn’t seem to be going out of fashion any time soon. Whilst it is true that many of us fear change, it is equally true that we are unable to stop it, so surely, as we enter 2020, the only answer is to optimistically embrace change together with all of the opportunity and potential that it offers to us.

Connectivity remains a major challenge for organizations. Fragmented processes and systems, uncertain market conditions, multiple stakeholders with variable interests mean decision making, and implementation continue to become more complicated and contentious. Compounding this, organizations are under increasing pressure to better define their sense of purpose. A focus on profits and providing dividends to shareholders is no longer enough. What about their broader social role? And equally, what about the relationships they must form and manage, the extent of loyalty and integrity they offer, the depth of visibility and transparency, the fairness of their dealings both internally and externally?

The themes of purpose, relationships, and servitization potentially offer solutions to these complex problems and provide the opportunity for the contract and commercial community to assume a position of leadership in the execution of change and innovation.

Purpose matters not only at an overall strategic level but also as the potential unifying force within major programs, projects or business offerings. Improved analysis and then management of relationships is increasingly an area that links directly to contract performance. And servitization appears an unstoppable trend that sees us moving away from a world of ownership to one of availability and outcomes.

Contract and Commercial Management stands as the enabler and the integrator uniquely positioned to break down the barriers and allay conflicting interests. In the 2020s, we can increasingly assume a role in which we inform and shape corporate strategies.

IACCM 2020 will explore these fundamental trends and how they depend on Contract and Commercial Management for their development and successful implementation. The opportunities for us to intervene, to engage, and to anticipate are amazing. Join us, be at the heart of these revolutionary changes and be inspired.

Why is this theme so important to our community?

• CCM will play a vital role in the shift towards services – understand where you fit in the era of servitization and how you can prepare for the sweeping change.
• A connected vision is now more critical than ever – learn how CCM stands as the enabler and integrator uniquely positioned to break down the barriers and allay conflicting interests across increasingly complex commercial relationships.
• Shaping corporate strategy – the shift to performance outcomes means CCM will play a critical role in informing and shaping corporate strategies.  Understand how that will play out and get ready for it.
• Advance service offerings means greater need for improved governance – learn from IACCM’s leading edge research about designing organizational and contract governance into the system
• Management of relationships is increasingly an area that links directly to contract performance – explore how contract and commercial managers can adapt to serve their enterprise with trusted relationships
• Greater focus on performance outcomes – the impact on CCM both buy-side and sell-side will be fundamental, we will equip you with the tools you need to demonstrate and deliver value throughout the contract lifecycle
