About the programme

Course Overview

Single sourcing on contractual dispute mechanisms looks efficient until the day it is not. Inventory tied up in this aspect of procurement and supply operations is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Comparative studies of this strand of procurement and supply operations across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The programme is built to be used, and every section of contractual dispute mechanisms it covers ends in something applicable. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the procurement and supply operations discipline. The difficulty is not agreeing that this aspect of procurement and supply operations matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of contractual dispute mechanisms and supervised application. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in this strand of procurement and supply operations before they become incidents. Participants leave with a plan for the wider procurement and supply operations agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
