  • Training Design:
    • Develop two comprehensive training programs designed to improve employees’ skills in managing disputes and handling contracts. These sessions will cover both theoretical knowledge and practical scenarios, ensuring that participants can apply what they have learned in real-world situations.
    • Dispute Resolution Training:
      • Topics to include key conflict resolution techniques, communication strategies, negotiation skills, and the legal framework surrounding disputes.

      • Emphasize the importance of maintaining compliance with regulatory standards, company policies, and the specific terms of each agreement.
  • Delivery Method:
    • Offer the training sessions through a combination of in-person workshops and virtual webinars to ensure broad participation across the company.

    • Utilize interactive tools, case studies, and group discussions to ensure participants are actively engaged and learning from each other’s experiences.

    • Target key departments such as Legal, Finance, Marketing, Sales, Operations, and Procurement, as these teams are most likely to deal with contract management and disputes.
    • Encourage cross-departmental participation to foster a better understanding of how each department contributes to the resolution of disputes and the management of contracts.
  • Continuous Learning:
    • Follow up the training with ongoing learning resources, such as e-books, articles, and scenario-based exercises to ensure employees can continue developing their skills throughout the quarter.
• Outcome:
  • Ensure that all participants come away with a clear understanding of how to handle disputes and contracts more effectively and in line with SayPro’s best practices.
  • Enhance internal communication and collaboration by giving employees the tools they need to manage conflicts and contractual obligations, reducing the risk of issues escalating and promoting a more efficient work environment.
  • Measure success through post-training assessments, feedback surveys, and tracking the implementation of new strategies in daily operations.

2. SayPro Monthly SCMR-1 Review:

• Objective: Ensure that training and awareness initiatives are aligned with SayPro’s SCMR (Supply Chain Management Review) process and monthly reviews.
• Strategy:
  • Integrate the knowledge gained from the dispute resolution and contract management training into the monthly SCMR-1 process, ensuring that all departments are well-equipped to handle and resolve disputes as they arise.
  • Encourage feedback from the training sessions to refine the SCMR process and improve future dispute management and contract handling across the organization.
  • Utilize the SCMR-1 reviews to identify any recurring issues or conflicts and determine how the training sessions can address these challenges.
  • Monitor how the training has impacted the efficiency and effectiveness of dispute resolutions, and adjust operational strategies accordingly.
• Outcome: Incorporating insights from the training into the SCMR process will create a more cohesive approach to dispute resolution and contract management, leading to smoother operations across the company.

3. SayPro Monthly Dispute Resolution:

  • Assess dispute trends on a monthly basis to identify any areas where the training may need to be adapted or expanded to better serve specific teams or types of conflicts.
  • Create a feedback loop where employees can share success stories, challenges, and tips for resolving disputes based on the training to further improve the organization’s dispute resolution processes.
• Outcome: Achieve faster and more effective resolution of disputes, ensuring that all issues are handled in compliance with SayPro’s standards, and contributing to the overall reduction of conflicts that can delay or derail contracts or projects.

4. Tenders, Bidding, Quotations, and Proposals Management:

• Objective: Ensure that employees are equipped with the right skills to handle tenders, quotations, and proposals effectively, reducing potential issues during these processes.

  • Encourage employees to use the newly acquired skills in contract negotiation to ensure that all tender and bidding processes are transparent, fair, and legally sound.
