Latest Research

Research is at the heart of what we do. With over 20 years of dedicated research into commerce and contract management, our members benefit from our latest insights, leading practices and professional development programs. 

A recent survey of our membership revealed the following insights:

Are you interested in advancing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles?

We are all aware of the increased focus on ESG, yet data suggests it may be having limited impact on commercial and contracting practices and professionals. WorldCC invites you to participate in a spot survey so that we can establish how our members feel about ESG and the extent to which they are contributing to initiatives within their own organization.

As WorldCC itself gears up to provide leadership and support in delivering social value, gathering your views and experiences is invaluable. As an incentive to spend a few minutes sharing your views, we are offering one lucky winner a $250 Amazon gift voucher, or an equivalent contribution to a charity of your choice.

Benchmark Study of Contract & Commercial Management 2021

The world's largest and most comprehensive study of contract and commercial management is now collecting data.

The report will look at key areas including:

• Organization and reporting
• Roles and responsibilities
• Measurements and performance indicators
• Tools and technology
• Capabilities and investment

As a participant in the survey, you can expect an analysis of CCM at multiple levels including buy-side versus sell-side, by industry, geography, reporting line and size of organization.

Do contract standards reduce disputes?

Standards provide people and organizations with a basis for mutual understanding and can be used as tools to facilitate communication, measurement and commerce. 

In this study, we are examining the extent to which you currently use standards, their strengths and weaknesses and what types of standards you might welcome going forward.
