Artificial Intelligence in Category Management
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme examines how the practice is shifting, and what delegates should adopt, adapt or ignore. It works through contract negotiation and supplier relationship management as they stand today and where they are heading. The shift is worth understanding because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price. Delegates leave able to work confidently with strategic sourcing, inventory optimisation and contract administration in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review strategic sourcing and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Put inventory optimisation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Explain contract administration to someone who does not do the work
- Bring spend analysis into line with current good practice
