Send us a textEpisode #136: Matt Lhoumeau, CEO of Concord Worldwide, takes us on his extraordinary journey from founding his first company at 17 to revolutionizing how businesses handle their contracts.Connect with Matt Lhoumeau and Concord:1) Matt Lhoumeau: Matt's LinkedIn2) Website: concord.appMatt's revelation will surprise you: contract management has fundamentally transformed. While traditionally the exclusive domain of legal departments, today's reality shows operations and finance teams increasingly managing contracts—often with legal completely uninvolved. This shift, accelerated by AI, creates both challenges and opportunities for finance leaders seeking greater efficiency and control.The numbers tell a shocking story. Matt reveals that 90% of companies still have no contract management system in place, relying instead on fragmented solutions combining e-signatures and generic document storage. Meanwhile, over 90% of contracts are signed without revisions—suggesting the real value is in in streamlined processes and financial oversight.For finance leaders specifically, Matt offers invaluable wisdom from his entrepreneurial journey. He candidly admits wishing he'd hired a strong CFO earlier, emphasizing that great finance leaders "fight for every dollar" while serving as "guardians of processes"—implementing just enough structure without creating bureaucratic overhead. His perspective on monthly closing processes is particularly enlightening, as Concord evolves toward real-time financial visibility.Please connect with me on:1. Instagram: stephen.mclain2.

Tune in to learn more about why partnership is key to the success of this team.    IN THIS EPISODE: [1:46] What does Jami see as the current state of contracting Acquisition and Assistance at USAID? [6:25] What is feasible for the team to accomplish over the next couple of years? [8:47] Which strategies and ideas is Jami bringing back to USAID from other experiences working in the government fields? [15:35] What were the 5 steps that NASA used when looking into an acquisition challenge? [18:24] How can innovation and rethinking the relationship with risk tolerance be implemented? [20:38] Where does Jami look outside of the government for inspiration or innovation for the procurement process? [23:03] How does Jami see AI affecting procurement?  [31:27] What does the localization initiative look like with the Office of Acquisition and Assistance? [35:05] Jami shares about a co-creation workshop that was used to implement a successful localization. [36:54] How does Jami look at the new partnerships initiative? [39:01] What's the best way to share ideas with Jami's team? [42:52] What is Jami prioritizing through the end of this fiscal year?   KEY TAKEAWAYS:  One way to reduce risk is by not being overly reliant on the same partners over and over and diversifying the partner base. AI can be useful to free up employees from routine and route tasks to higher value work where they can focus on contract administration challenges or getting more partner or site visits, tasks that have more meaning.  USAID doesn't do the work alone. They need players from all over to make an impact. The global challenges are going to require diversity of humanity to solve them.    QUOTES: [14:02] “The whole purpose of the NAIL was to empower that culture of innovation and reinforce the idea that anyone, anywhere, can be an innovation champion to promote an idea that will propel us forward.” - Jami J. Rodgers, CPCM [27:34] “We need to think about how not only does AI improve our execution of our current processes, but how can AI change our processes so that we're more efficient and effective. This is going to take some time, it won't be done tomorrow. Good things usually take time and thoughtful implementation.” - Jami J. Rodgers, CPCM [33:02] “The big exciting news we mentioned is translation, the whole platform is now available in Arabic, French and Spanish. So we vastly increased outreach to local partners. I believe we had close to 1,500 new users on Arabic websites in the last couple of weeks, so we're hoping that by using the language where we operate, we're bringing critical material to new partners.” - Jami J.

“A contract lifecycle management platform drives processes for you. That drives your price down, your risk down, and you get the best of all worlds like procurement wants." - Paul Bagley, Director of Commercial Contracting at Acosta Historically, procurement viewed contracts as a legal formality, something only to be referred to when things go wrong with a supplier.  This outdated approach leaves a goldmine of untapped value and insight on the table, and it's time for procurement to have a mindset shift when it comes to the way they use, store, value, and leverage digital contracts. In this episode, Philip Ideson and Kelly Barner talk with Paul Bagley, Director of Commercial Contracting at Acosta, and Toby Laforest, Director of Product Marketing at Ironclad, about how procurement can leverage the full potential of digital contracts and the technology required to make it happen. They'll explain:  Why digital contacts are strategic assets that can provide bottom-line value to the business Why most procurement teams are currently not taking advantage of AI and contract lifecycle management platforms to extract value from their contracts (and what that mistake is costing them) The myriad benefits procurement - and the business - will see when they normalize contract discussions and regularly refer to contract-based insights with suppliers and stakeholders Links: Paul Bagley on LinkedIn Toby Laforest on LinkedIn Watch on Demand: Connecting the Dots with Digital Contracts Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

In this episode of Navigating Major Programmes, Riccardo Cosentino sits down with fellow Oxford's Saïd Business School alumnus, Shawn Modar, to discuss why mega projects go wrong and what can be done contractually to avoid failure. The pair delve into the role psychological contracts play in the Iron Triangle. Plus, Shawn shares his Oxford dissertation findings, including a prenuptial agreement analogy you don't want to miss. “One of the interesting realizations that I had during this process is: Why would somebody intentionally not comply with their contract, knowing all those legal risks that are out there? And what I realized is when they're not complying with that written contract, they're actually complying with their psychological contract.” –  Shawn ModarShawn Modar has more than 23 years of experience in the engineering and construction industry, with the majority of that time being focused on construction claim analysis and dispute resolution. His primary focus is assisting clients in their efforts to substantiate or defend against claims for the recovery of time and additional costs, to avoid formal disputes, and to make informed decisions that result in equitable resolutions.  Key Takeaways:The risk of acting like something you're not: Relational contracts versus traditional contractsThe truth behind intentional noncompliance in megaprojectsThe benefits and downfalls of psychological contracts If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating and leave us a review on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser or Castbox.The conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Shawn Modar on LinkedInFollow Navigating Major Programmes on LinkedInFollow Riccardo Cosentino on LinkedInRead Riccardo's latest at wwww.riccardocosentino.com Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

In this episode of the Industry Insights podcast, Rafael is joined by CEO and Founder of Ncontracts Michael Berman to talk about the evolution of contract management at financial institutions. It's a timely topic as Michael's company celebrates its 15th anniversary and he unveils Ncontracts' newest innovation - the Ntelligent Contracts Assistant.    Contracts are single most effective control a financial institution has when working with third-party vendors. An oversight when drafting or managing contracts can lead to expensive mistakes. It's not just about pricing. Inadequate analysis of terms and conditions, failure to monitor vendor performance, and deficiencies in handling data security during transitions can all spell trouble. Contract management includes every aspect of the TPRM lifecycle, including vendor onboarding, ongoing oversight, and termination. Meanwhile regulatory scrutiny of contracts continues to increase, with over 100 references in recent guidance impacting banks. Over the years, Michael has watched contract management best practices evolve along with features that can mitigate insider threats that lead to data breaches, like vendor employee background checks, security training, and cyber insurance.  Now AI is transforming contract management again by uncovering risks and driving efficiency. Michael's company, Ncontracts is leading the way with Ntelligent Contracts Assistant leading the way. It's an exciting development for financial institutions that want to maximize their understanding of contract while minimizing the staff hours to get it done.
