Sourcing in practice | Session 9

The Renewal Calendar

The calendar that runs the year. Every notice window pulled out of the paper and placed on the day the leverage expires, the year triaged onto a runway with an owner and a next action on each renewal that matters, and quiet, opt-in alerts on the few worth watching. With briefings from the advisory desk. Recorded August 2026.

The first two minutes play for everyone. The full session is available on request with a work email.

What this session covers

The cheapest money you will ever leave on the table is the deadline that passed silently: the auto-renewal that fired because a notice window closed while everyone was busy. The notice window is the single most valuable date in a contract, and the one nobody has written down in one place. This session writes them all down.

Live on the sample workspace, the renewal calendar is rebuilt from the agreements themselves, every term end and notice window pulled from the clauses and placed on the day the leverage expires. The year is triaged onto a twelve month runway, an owner and a next action on each renewal that matters, and quiet alerts turned on only where you choose.

Between the live segments, the advisory desk cuts in with short recorded briefings: the ninety day window where the leverage lives, which renewals deserve a project and which deserve a two line letter, the auto-renewal worth keeping, and the quiet week that fixes the calendar for good.
