Inventory tied up in supplier capability development is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside the practice within procurement and supply operations. Participants finish able to explain this strand of procurement and supply operations to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It is written for people who have to make supplier capability development work with the resources they already have. The programme converts the practice within procurement and supply operations from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Comparative studies of the procurement and supply operations capability across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Participants test their assumptions about supplier capability development against scenarios designed to break weak ones. What blocks progress on the practice within procurement and supply operations is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The final module sets out how progress on this strand of procurement and supply operations will be evidenced six months later.
