Course Overview
Most procurement disputes about business-aligned procurement strategy originate in a specification written too quickly. Single sourcing on the procurement and supply operations discipline looks efficient until the day it is not. Progress on this part of procurement and supply operations is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The course gives participants a defensible structure for business-aligned procurement strategy and the judgement to adapt it. Participants test their assumptions about the practice within procurement and supply operations against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The level assumes working familiarity with the supply function but no prior formal training in the procurement and supply operations capability. Participants gain a realistic view of what business-aligned procurement strategy costs and what it returns. Applied research in procurement and supply operations consistently shows that early structure around this area of procurement and supply operations reduces downstream rework. Participants leave with a plan for the practice within procurement and supply operations sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
