Desbloqueando el potencial de la Contratación Basada en Resultados

Desbloqueando el potencial de la Contratación Basada en Resultados

A medida que los gobiernos y las industrias buscan formas de generar más valor con recursos limitados, la Contratación Basada en Resultados (OBC) ofrece una alternativa sólida: cambiar el enfoque de los procesos hacia los resultados. Sin embargo, materializar su potencial requiere más que nuevas plantillas; exige un cambio cultural, definiciones más claras y una colaboración más sólida. En este episodio, analizamos qué está impulsando el resurgimiento de la OBC, qué obstáculos enfrenta y cómo las organizaciones pueden convertir la ambición en un impacto medible.

The Role of Lawyers in a Changing World

In this episode, we explore how the role of lawyers is evolving in response to shifting market dynamics, technological disruption, and new contracting models. We examine how legal professionals are moving beyond traditional risk management toward becoming strategic partners in designing resilient, adaptive, and outcome-focused commercial relationships.

Decades of Lost Potential in Defense Research and Development

In this episode, we unpack a deep and systemic challenge at the heart of U.S. defense innovation: how a flagship program intended to catalyse breakthrough technologies has, over decades, evolved into an engine of bureaucratic inertia and entrenched incumbency. Using the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program as a case study, we explore how misaligned incentives, flawed policy design, and organisational risk aversion have constrained entry for truly innovative firms, starved defence research of fresh ideas, and squandered taxpayer resources. More than a critique of one program, this episode surfaces strategic questions about how defence innovation systems reward incumbency, how they bridge early-stage research to real operational impact, and what meaningful reform would require in an era of rapid technological challenge and great-power competition.

China's CCM capability gap: a strategic inflection point for global commerce

In this episode, we explore whether China’s transition from manufacturing to services is truly constrained by a lack of Contract and Commercial Management (CCM) capability – or whether the reality is more nuanced. We examine how different operating models – from scale-based manufacturing to more flexible, scope-based delivery – create very different commercial demands, and why China’s rapid capability development may be less about absence and more about compression. Ultimately, we’ll explore whether this moment represents a true capability gap – or a transitional phase that is already reshaping global competition.

¿La IA es la oportunidad que Procurement (Compras / Abastecimiento) estaba esperando para reinventarse?

Enfoque: En este episodio exploramos cómo la IA está transformando el panorama de Procurement, no al mejorar el modelo tradicional, sino al cuestionar su propia existencia. A medida que los sistemas inteligentes automatizan tareas tradicionales, el enfoque debe pasar del control y el cumplimiento hacia la creatividad comercial, la integración estratégica y el valor a lo largo de todo el ciclo de vida del contrato. Analizaremos cómo podría verse esta reinvención y qué está en juego si no damos ese salto. Leer más.
