Course Overview

Most procurement disputes about supplier satisfaction measurement originate in a specification written too quickly. Single sourcing on the practice within procurement and supply operations looks efficient until the day it is not. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this part of procurement and supply operations and the judgement to adapt it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for supplier satisfaction measurement as they go. Ambition around the wider procurement and supply operations agenda outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. Participants gain a realistic view of what the procurement and supply operations discipline costs and what it returns. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with supplier satisfaction measurement. Mature organisations treat this strand of procurement and supply operations as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the procurement and supply operations capability rather than a set of notes.
