Course Overview
Most procurement disputes about procurement system change management originate in a specification written too quickly. Inventory tied up in change management is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this aspect of procurement and supply operations in their own setting. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting procurement system change management, ready to be adapted internally. Where this area of procurement and supply operations is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Ambition around change management outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. It treats procurement system change management as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on change management are used deliberately. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within procurement and supply operations will be evidenced six months later.
