Strategic Sourcing
5 days|Delivered on request
This Strategic Sourcing programme gives delegates a working command of logistics management and supplier development, grounded in the CIPS professional standard. Organisations invest here because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price. Delegates leave able to work confidently with demand planning, spend analysis and contract administration in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about demand planning without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Improve spend analysis within their own organisation
- Take ownership of contract administration rather than escalating it
- Explain category management to someone who does not do the work
