Value Creation through Procurement and Supply (2 Days)

Is it right for me?

A procurement professional can add value through reducing costs, improving quality,

reducing timescales, bringing innovations, and ensuring sustainability along with many

other benefits. The course will help you to evaluate the developments that can be made to

systems, emphasising the impact of e-procurement and technology on process improvement.

You’ll explore good practices in supply chain management to achieve sources of competitive

advantage for the organisation so that it can act quicker, faster, cheaper, greener, and

smarter.

What will I learn?

As part of this course, you will have access to pre and post work activities online to help you

prepare and reflect on your training. You’ll learn how to exploit opportunities to add value

for the organisation, identified through analysis of activity, issues and processes. Through

debate, discussion, and practical exercises, you’ll explore topics such as strategy development,

continuous improvement, sustainability, and procurement leadership.

What are the learning objectives?

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Develop appropriate strategies and plans for the adoption of collaborative or competitive

strategies

• Lead on the creation and adoption of process improvements to improve effectiveness and

efficiency

• Promote responsible procurement in the supply chain throughout the function, the supply

base, and the organisation
