Course Overview
Inventory tied up in digital supplier relationship management is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside relationship management. Participants apply this aspect of procurement and supply operations to their own supply function throughout, so the output is directly usable. Buying a tool rarely fixes digital supplier relationship management; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The professional literature on the wider procurement and supply operations agenda converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The course sets out a working method for relationship management that participants can apply the week they return. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of digital supplier relationship management to standardise and which to leave flexible. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for relationship management. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the procurement and supply operations discipline ready to put in front of a decision maker.
