How are changes to existing contracts recorded? Without a contract management solution the answer is simple: they are not recorded. Without a contract management solution (an accessible database of key, searchable contract information) many companies may not be able to effectively deal with these “off script” changes.Ī contract that is simply stored in a file cabinet or is squirreled away as a PDF on a user’s computer desktop is a dead and irrelevant document when big changes occur mid contract. Accounts payable may need to make changes or adjust payments service or product centers may need to change inventory sales staff may need to revise sales collateral. A mid-contract change from a vendor may in turn affect many other parts of the business. When things go “off script,” changes need to be made with vendors on the fly. The key word is “assumptions” – no company can really predict the future with certainty. Both sides try to codify the parts they’ll play based on certain assumptions about the future. Of course, many people in the B2B world have to deal with situations that are “off script.” Going “off script” often happens when market changes, customer response/demand or supply changes dictate a key change with a vendor.Ĭontracts with vendors and suppliers are, in a sense, a script.
MICHAEL BAY TELEPROMPT HOW TO
He doesn’t do improvisation – and he had to go “off script” without much practical experience of how to do that. Of course, on some level you have to feel for the guy. The videos of Bay’s appearance, albeit short, at CES have already racked up (collectively) more than one million views on YouTube. When the teleprompter failed, Bay fumbled, and then abruptly walked off stage (muttering his apologies), leaving a perplexed Samsung executive to heroically carry on as a one-man show.
MICHAEL BAY TELEPROMPT MOVIE
That’s why action movie director Michael Bay ( Transformers, Armageddon, The Rock) was at CES this year to help Samsung introduce their new line of curved-screen, UHD TVs.

So it is understandable why industry bigwigs at the popular Consumer Electronics Show want to hire a bit of Hollywood flash to spice up their presentations. Most tech industry C-level executives seem to have the charisma of a two-day-old tuna sandwich. With the exception of Steve Jobs, the words “charisma” and “tech industry executive” rarely fit in the same sentence.
