Category Management for Small and Medium Enterprises
3 days|Delivered on request
Category Management for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including contract administration, spend analysis and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules.
