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:

AI Adoption in Contracting Survey

AI: secret user or enthusiastic adopter? The use of AI is becoming pervasive. The commercial and contracts community is making extensive personal use -and now, a majority are using it for their work. Some with approval, others behind the scenes.

Everyone wants to know what others are using it for, what works, what doesn’t. They want to know what it will do for our jobs, our career. And we can provide answers. Share your thoughts and experiences with thousands of others by participating in the annual survey on AI in contract and commercial management. It’s global, authoritative, confidential and free - as a participant you’ll receive a personal copy and the chance to register for our webinar de-brief in February 2026.

Your voice is important. Help shape the future of commercial and contract management.

Outcomes-based Contracts

Outcome-based contracts are high on every executive agenda, but for many organizations they remain confusing and deliver uncertain results.

That's why it's essential for our community to share views and experiences, shaping executive thinking on the way forward.

Please contribute to our survey - the first comprehensive study in 10 years - to generate critical insights from contracts, procurement and legal professionals. We want to create a clear picture of where OBCs work, where they don't, and what needs to change.

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.
