The Confederation of Galician Entrepreneurs (CEG), through its International Tender Service (SALT) and in collaboration with the Galician Institute for Economic Promotion (IGAPE), continues to promote the development of Galician companies in the field of international contracting. Within this framework, a specialized course on Contract Management: Contract Management in International Projects was held in September, organized in a e-learning format through a virtual classroom.

The course took place on September 15, 16, 22, and 23, in the mornings, and was taught by the Cantabrian Institute of Technology (ITC), a leading consulting and training organization for executives and professionals, with solid experience in implementing project management and contract management methodologies in organizations across different sectors.

The program addressed the main aspects of contract management applied to international projects. The first sessions covered the fundamentals of contract management, the different types of contracts, and the definition of key documents such as scope, schedule, resources, and management plans. Subsequently, the baseline scope, deadlines, and costs were addressed, highlighting best practices for the preparation of contractual schedules and CWBS, as well as the identification of cost overruns and deviations.

Risk management and communication tools were also analyzed, emphasizing the need to anticipate contingencies and establish clear communication mechanisms. The program was rounded off with a section focusing on project governance and change management, including the SCL Protocol for analyzing delays and productivity losses. The course concluded with an analysis of FIDIC contracts and a study of international negotiation techniques, such as the BATNA methodology, which are particularly useful in contract award and execution processes.

This course provided attendees with a comprehensive and practical overview of contract management in projects, reinforcing key skills to improve their competitiveness in internationalization.
