Adoption of AI in Contracting

How far along is your organization in adopting AI in contracting? What benefits and challenges are being seen?

As the integration of artificial intelligence in contracting accelerates, WorldCC is tracking experiences and outlooks through our Adoption of AI in Contracting Survey.

Our confidential survey will reveal the AI use cases providing the greatest value along with existing pain points and risks. It will also highlight any variations across regions, industries, and company sizes. The survey data will be analyzed and released to all participants as a consolidated report on the state of AI adoption in contracting. By contributing your perspectives, you can benchmark progress and gain insights to inform integration strategy.

How does your salary compare? Where are the best opportunities and the greatest rewards?

Research shows that Commercial and Contract Management roles are receiving increased executive attention. As the leading professional association in this field, employers and practitioners turn to us for the latest data on salaries and compensation packages. We are therefore inviting you to take part in our confidential annual Salary Survey.

Our survey will reveal the job roles and industries where satisfaction is highest, and it will also confirm any existing international variations. The data will be released to all participants as a consolidated report.

How can suppliers and governments build better contracting relationships?

The purpose of this survey, in partnership with University College London, is to investigate how governments make decisions about tendering for and managing contracts and how suppliers make decisions about bidding for and delivering government contracts.

The survey uses brief case-study scenarios to investigate how the public and private sectors develop productive working relationships and how those relationships vary across different geographic locations and industries.
