Using shared data to manage performance, verify assumptions, and trigger better decisions 

Data sharing, transparency and audit provisions are often treated as compliance requirements or reporting mechanics. In practice, they are strategic commercial tools that help both Parties manage performance, verify assumptions, reduce information asymmetry, and respond early to risk, opportunity, and change.

This workshop examines how data-sharing and audit mechanisms should be designed to support governance, accountability, and better commercial outcomes across the contract lifecycle. Participants will explore what information should be shared, when disclosure is commercially necessary, and how accuracy, timeliness, agreed formats, confidentiality, and security should be balanced in practice. The session will also consider when proportionate access to performance, cost, demand, and capacity data is needed to support KPIs, pricing decisions, and change proposals.

The session also looks beyond access rights to consider how transparency shapes behaviour over time. Shared data can help identify risks, correct inaccuracies, validate commercial assumptions, and uncover opportunities for improvement, efficiency, decarbonization, and revenue enhancement. Where that information points to a need for action, participants will consider how formal Change Management should be used to convert insight into structured commercial response. 

In this session, we’ll:

• Assess what information should be shared to support performance, pricing, risk, and change
• Define how audit and verification rights can be proportionate, practical, and commercially effective
• Explore how transparency reduces gaming, strengthens trust, and supports mutual accountability
• Position shared data as a driver of improvement, value creation, and structured adaptation 

Designed for WorldCC’s commercial and contract management audience, this workshop provides a practical framework for using data sharing, transparency and audit provisions to strengthen trust, improve performance, and turn information into better commercial outcomes.
