Procurement for you!

Procurement includes all the activities related to the buying of goods and services that enable an organization to operate in a profitable and ethical manner.

And if you ever wondered, where are you in all this?
What can you really influence?
What you should or should not do?
How can you get better at it?

You landed in the right place!

Based on almost 20 years of experience at the different steps of the procurement cycle I understand the challenges. I also see the opportunities that come with the role of procurement in the organization.

This is why we created a series of training and support systems for your success.

Get Started

Here is how we build our programs

The PROCUREMENT CYCLE Course is dedicated to individuals, new or growing business structures, who are looking to understand WHAT PROCUREMENT IS , WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE and HOW DOES IT CONTRIBUTE TO THE BUSINESS

PURCHASING courses are aimed to cover all the critical knowledge and skill set you need to actually perform like a purchasing professional.

Because everyone can buy something but that rarely makes them a BUYER much rather just a shopper.
You can create real difference, value add, by getting the proper knowledge and skills for Purchasing.

Here is how we structured it: we personalized training for teams and groups on below areas:

1. The basic principles of Purchasing and how to create value as a buyer
2. Purchasing for professionals- Commodity management,
3. Sourcing plan and strategic buying
4. Ethical and responsible sourcing
5. Commercial negotiation and contracting
6. Purchasing for manufacturing industries- the specific skills you need (automotive specifics included)
7. Supplier relationship management

All of the above are useful, and practical approach-based programs for both individuals and teams.

What makes this training model different?

MENTORING makes the difference for your success!
Too often we get to learn the WHAT needs to be done and we get stuck into the HOW to actually do it, when we are back into our everyday activity.

Each of our training program will offer the possibility of a support for implementation period.
This period will ensure that the information, tools and skills acquired during the training process are actually tested, adapted and implemented to your specific business needs and career goals.

How is that working?

The best way is to grow in your career and personal life at the same time, because all is linked, and you are the key to your own success!

At the beginning, we start with a good and detailed understanding of your current status, skills and goals.

As a second step we identify what area of training will create the maximum of benefit for you. Once you have been though the training itself, we define together the path for the successful implementation.

The mentoring program for procurement

We will work on 1on1 sessions that will be focused on real life examples, models, case studies so you can find your ways of using all you have learned.

Professionals combines the skills and knowledge earned with years of hard work with the specific techniques of a coach to help your team both professionally and personally.

Because at times we just need to grow up to the challenge instead of waiting to feel ready for it.
