Course Overview
A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside professional procurement management practice. Inventory tied up in management practice is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this strand of procurement and supply operations is examined, not just described. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on professional procurement management practice and revise it on evidence. Plans for the wider procurement and supply operations agenda often fail at the handover point between functions. Where management practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on professional procurement management practice are used deliberately. This programme builds management practice from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of procurement and supply operations broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
