Course Overview

Savings claimed on urgent purchasing and crisis management at signature are frequently lost during execution. Warehouse performance on crisis management is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Buying a tool rarely fixes this area of procurement and supply operations; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It establishes a shared vocabulary for urgent purchasing and crisis management so that teams can disagree productively about it. Participants apply the wider procurement and supply operations agenda to their own supply function throughout, so the output is directly usable. Where crisis management is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of urgent purchasing and crisis management to standardise and which to leave flexible. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with crisis management. The final session converts the week's work on the procurement and supply operations discipline into commitments with owners and dates.
