Course Overview
Single sourcing on spend analysis and savings looks efficient until the day it is not. Savings claimed on analysis and savings at signature are frequently lost during execution. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the practice within procurement and supply operations so that teams can disagree productively about it. The most reliable predictor of sound spend analysis and savings is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the procurement and supply operations discipline before they become incidents. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of analysis and savings and supervised application. Plans for spend analysis and savings often fail at the handover point between functions. It is designed for mixed groups, so that analysis and savings is examined from more than one functional angle. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of procurement and supply operations that each participant writes for their own organisation.
