Course Overview
Single sourcing on digital supplier portals looks efficient until the day it is not. Most procurement disputes about the practice within procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting this part of procurement and supply operations, ready to be adapted internally. It treats digital supplier portals as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The level assumes working familiarity with the supply function but no prior formal training in the procurement and supply operations discipline. The version of the procurement and supply operations capability described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Across sectors, teams that rehearse digital supplier portals outperform teams that only plan it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for this area of procurement and supply operations as they go. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the procurement and supply operations discipline that would make a visible difference.
