The GLS Solution: Audit your readiness for a CLMS implementation
GLS Best Seller Critical Department Resource Transformation Essential
This CLMS Readiness Audit™ is a fully managed reporting solution that helps you rapidly, objectively, fairly and honestly assess your readiness for a CLMS implementation.
The value of a CLMS is significant but the pitfalls are real. The primary purpose of the CLMS is to “enable” your contracting processed - so you need to ensure that they are optimised prior to implementation.
Comprising more than 300 diagnostic questions, this solution will:
- assess your overall readiness for a CLMS implementation
- identify gaps, sub-par and optimal elements in your contracting function
- give you actionable data on steps to improve your readiness
- flag optimal conditions for CLMS implementation
- help you make informed assessments about available CLMS solutions
Our comprehensive diagnostic modules are deployed to your internal stakeholders via desktop surveys that generate thousands of data points when sent to multiple users – along with selective key stakeholder interviews (1hr each).
This diagnostic tool will cover all aspects of the contracting function including:
- template adequacy
- contract approval
- delegation of authority
- contract segmentation
- contract parameter definition
- current data quality
- user readiness
- corporate decision making records
- change culture
- document authoring requirements
- integration requirements
- current technology usage
- escalation scenarios
- approval pathways
- renewal strategies
In an objective and transparent manner, this audit solution provides you with the authority of an expert “third party voice” on the current performance levels and capabilities of your contracting function and your readiness to implement a CLMS solution.
The findings will make it easier for you internally to justify the resources your team needs to successfully implement your CLMS solution.
Critically, there are no “negative findings” – just blueprint recommendations that will help prepare you to pro-actively face your future CLMS implementation. These data based insights will maximise your team's chances of implementation success.
If you are serious about a CLMS implementation, this is an essential first step initiative.
Problem solved.
