Course Overview
Single sourcing on procurement governance and audit looks efficient until the day it is not. Warehouse performance on governance and audit is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. The programme takes participants through the procurement and supply operations discipline end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The version of procurement governance and audit described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this strand of procurement and supply operations rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Where governance and audit is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on procurement governance and audit are used deliberately. They acquire practical criteria for judging when governance and audit is working and when it is only appearing to. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the procurement and supply operations capability rather than a set of notes.
