Strategic Spend Analysis
5 days|Delivered on request
Strategic Spend Analysis looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on total cost of ownership, strategic sourcing and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier relationship management, tender evaluation and contract administration in their own organisation.
