Course Overview

Savings claimed on ethical procurement standards at signature are frequently lost during execution. Single sourcing on this part of procurement and supply operations looks efficient until the day it is not. Participants finish able to explain this area of procurement and supply operations to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. Organisations that document ethical procurement standards properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The difficulty is not agreeing that the wider procurement and supply operations agenda matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants who influence this area of procurement and supply operations without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants leave with a method for ethical procurement standards, not a set of opinions about it. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the procurement and supply operations discipline and prepares them for it. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of procurement and supply operations sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
