Course Overview
Single sourcing on geographic supply diversification looks efficient until the day it is not. Savings claimed on the procurement and supply operations capability at signature are frequently lost during execution. Moving the wider procurement and supply operations agenda from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The programme suits teams tackling geographic supply diversification together as readily as individuals attending alone. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the practice within procurement and supply operations to standardise and which to leave flexible. Mature organisations treat this aspect of procurement and supply operations as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make geographic supply diversification hard in practice. It treats the wider procurement and supply operations agenda as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within procurement and supply operations will be evidenced six months later.
