Start by summarizing key points. Before signing, outline the main terms so everyone understands. Use simple language. Avoid jargon that can confuse and lead to misunderstandings. Set up a communication plan. Decide how often you’ll check in and who the contact points are. Document everything. Keep written records of discussions and decisions to refer back to later. Encourage questions. Make it clear that it’s okay to ask for clarification on any point.

Pour éviter les litiges avec vos fournisseurs, une seule règle : la clarté absolue. Comme l’affirme Simon Sinek, ? La communication n’est pas ce que vous dites, mais ce que l’autre comprend ?. Dès le début, définissez précisément les attentes, les livrables et les délais. Chaque point doit être explicite, documenté et partagé par tous. Les ambigu?tés sont le terreau des conflits. Utilisez des outils de suivi et des réunions régulières pour garantir que tout le monde est sur la même longueur d’onde. La transparence est votre meilleure alliée pour désamorcer les tensions avant qu’elles ne deviennent des problèmes. Soyez proactif et ne laissez aucune place à l’interprétation.
