Making the Deal: Effective Commercial Contract Clauses Negotiations (10-11 July 2024) St. Giles Boulevard Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

OVERVIEW


Negotiating in business is a fact of life, whether it be to close a contract or resolve a dispute. Contract negotiation is the process of coming to an agreement on a set of legally binding terms (negotiation not only with marketplace). It could be with parent company, subsidiaries, suppliers, clients or even internal stakeholders. It could be across internal departments or subsidiaries e.g. Engineering, Production, Finance, and Safety functions. Failure to negotiate a robust contract resulting in reduced profitability and increased business risk, and an increase in personal stress and operational costs.


When two parties negotiate, both parties seek to obtain favourable terms and minimize financial, legal and operational risk. As a result, good negotiating skills can be a valuable asset. This course is custom-made for those who regularly encounter contracts in their everyday role or business. It is designed to provide you with the essential practical skills and knowledge to avoid financially devastating contractual errors.


The course will enable you to deal with negotiating commercial contracts. You will have the skills and knowledge to confidently overcome the complexities inherent in dealing with commercial contracts negotiation in the corporate world.


Two key ingredients to successful contract management are the negotiation of terms and conditions to match business outcomes and a robust, well devised contract design process based on the principle of contract law. Contracting arrangements are governed by commercial and contract law. Both parties are to choose the terms of the contract within the limits of the law.


This intensive training could prevent your organisation losing significant sums of money as it firstly establishes a solid understanding of the benefits of good contract negotiating and how to create a function capable of delivering those benefits through organisational excellence by interpreting the contractual clauses & contractual risks.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Be Among the First in Malaysia to Make AI Your Real Workplace Assistant You’re Already Using AI. But Are You Still Doing Most of the Work? You ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot or Claude a question. You get an answer. You edit it. You check it. Then tomorrow, you start all over again. Meanwhile, the pressure keeps building more risks to assess, more audit work to document, more reports to produce, more data to analyse and less time to get everything done. If that sounds familiar, simply learning more prompts is NOT the answer. The next leap is learning how to turn GenAI into a REUSABLE PROFESSIONAL WORKFLOW and ultimately, your own AI assistant. FROM “ASK AI” TO “MAKE AI WORK FOR ME” AI-Augmented Risk Management and Internal Audit is an advanced, highly interactive two-day programme designed for professionals who are ready to move beyond basic prompting. Participants will learn how to challenge AI instead of blindly trusting it examining assumptions, exploring alternative scenarios, recognising cognitive bias and applying selected concepts from the DECODA Decision Clarity Architecture (DCA) before accepting AI recommendations. Participants will discover how to transform repetitive work into reusable AI workflows and put GenAI to work across risk identification, risk assessment, risk registers, control recommendations, audit planning, workpapers, executive reporting and fraud risk management. TWO DAYS. ONE BIG SHIFT. By the end of the programme, the goal is no longer: “How do I prompt AI better?” It becomes: “How do I build AI into the way I work without giving up my professional judgement?” The programme culminates in an integrated workplace challenge where participants can design, build and refine their own AI assistant for a recurring professional task from risk and audit reporting to risk registers, audit planning, vendor risk, fraud review or management reporting. AI can generate an impressive-looking analysis in seconds. But would you sign off on it? That is where this programme becomes different. You will also tackle the uncomfortable questions professionals cannot afford to ignore: hallucinations, Validation, confidentiality, data protection, explainability, documentation and AI governance . This is not about replacing the risk manager or internal auditor. It is about creating an AI-augmented professional who can work faster, think critically and make better-informed decisions. And you won’t just watch the trainer do it. You will build it, test it and challenge it yourself. Move beyond prompting. Build reusable AI workflows. Create an AI assistant around the work you actually do. Learn how to harness AI Tools to work faster and smarter while keeping professional judgement firmly in your hands. Do not just chat with AI. Make AI work for you.
