Strategic Sourcing for Managers
Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers spend analysis and category management from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with bid adjudication, demand planning and contract negotiation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve bid adjudication within their own organisation, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Spot where demand planning is failing before it becomes a finding
- Take ownership of contract negotiation rather than escalating it
- Explain warehouse operations to someone who does not do the work
