Strategic Supplier Development
Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online
Strategic Supplier Development looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on contract negotiation, logistics management and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception. Delegates leave able to work confidently with ethical sourcing, supplier relationship management and spend analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about ethical sourcing without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Spot where supplier relationship management is failing before it becomes a finding
- Put spend analysis on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Bring tender evaluation into line with current good practice
