Course Overview

Inventory tied up in payment terms negotiation is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Savings claimed on this part of procurement and supply operations at signature are frequently lost during execution. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider procurement and supply operations agenda outperform teams that only plan it. The programme works equally well for those formalising payment terms negotiation for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the procurement and supply operations capability before they become incidents. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the practice within procurement and supply operations rather than to abstract argument. Progress on payment terms negotiation is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. This programme builds this part of procurement and supply operations from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this strand of procurement and supply operations that would make a visible difference.
