Course Overview
Savings claimed on local supplier programmes at signature are frequently lost during execution. Most procurement disputes about this area of procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. Participants leave with a method for the procurement and supply operations discipline, not a set of opinions about it. It is designed for mixed groups, so that local supplier programmes is examined from more than one functional angle. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this aspect of procurement and supply operations improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this part of procurement and supply operations rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Buying a tool rarely fixes local supplier programmes; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to the wider procurement and supply operations agenda in an order their organisation can absorb. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of procurement and supply operations that participants can repeat annually.
