Certificate in Open Book Management

Transparency of costs and effective open book cost management is essential to delivering efficiencies and successful collaboration. In our experience, most clients and contractors do not properly interogate or understand their suppliers costs. The result is, too often, an adversarial environment and to drive improvement through a collaborative contract. This course introduces delegates to how to do open book properly. We run in a workshop style course, with case studies and group exercises to examine open book techniques appropriate to different forms of contract.

This short course is intended as an introduction to Open Book Cost Management and learners may add further units to acheive a diploma.
