Entering into a transformative agreement can be fraught with landmines. In this session, the presenters will share insights on preparing to enter into a transformative agreement and assessing the value derived from the agreement. This interactive presentation will engage the audience in critically thinking about your negotiation and open access strategy and how transformative agreements will provide long-term value to the research ecosystem. Additionally, we will present techniques, tools, and metrics that will be useful in evaluating agreements pre-deal and post-deal to assess progress towards strategic goals. This session will be useful to administrators, collection development personnel, and negotiating teams in better understanding the value being created or destroyed when entering into transformative agreements.
