Strategic Sourcing for Non-Specialists
Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Sourcing for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through ethical sourcing and total cost of ownership without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with strategic sourcing, bid adjudication and warehouse operations in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of strategic sourcing rather than escalating it, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Explain bid adjudication to someone who does not do the work
- Make a decision about warehouse operations without waiting for a specialist
- Improve demand planning within their own organisation
