How Competitive Is Your Organization s Contracting Function? Session Overview It is common for companies to struggle at benchmarking their current enterprise-wide contracting performance. Lacking key inputs, firms may not understand how to measure obstacles or understand the steps necessary to overcome roadblocks in order to be a mature and high-functioning organization. In this session we will review the contracting capability maturity model, which provides a framework to help companies evaluate their contracting performance. We examine several key inputs to the maturity model and discuss how to structure next steps toward achieving a world-class contracting organization. 4
