Participation to Meetings & Workshops
In order to ensure a continuous communication between the Client and the Service Provider, a series of meetings will be organised by Client throughout the duration of the Contract. Attendance and participation to these meetings will be key to ensure communication and alignment between the parties.
Coordination Meetings
Among the recurrent meetings organised by Client, the Service Provider may be requested to attend to monthly coordination meetings. These meetings will aim at:
-
Measuring performance of the Contract execution,
-
Reviewing upcoming needs for additional activities and termination of on -going activities as the case may be,
-
Holding discussions on challenges, difficulties, lessons learnt.
From time to time, the coordination meetings could be face -to-face meetings held in the Client’s offices in Paris-La Défense. However, if jointly agreed, those meetings will normally be held through conference call or teleconference call.
Note:
-
The agenda of coordination meetings is at this stage preliminary and will be fine -tuned all along contract execution,
-
The frequency of these meetings may vary (increased, decreased or even suspended) during periods when exchanges do not seem to be necessary.
Adhoc Meetings & Workshops
In addition, various ad -hoc meetings or workshops will also take place. If Client judges it relevant, the Service Provider will be requested to attend to these ad -hoc meetings.
