Strategic Sourcing Masterclass
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into bid adjudication, ethical sourcing and the judgement calls that sit outside the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with logistics management, contract negotiation and supplier development in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where logistics management is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Explain contract negotiation to someone who does not do the work
- Review supplier development and say plainly whether it is working
- Take ownership of inventory optimisation rather than escalating it
