Organisations are becoming increasingly complex and global thus requiring specialisation in all organisational functions. In the same spirit, the scope of and expectations from the procurement function in organisations has changed dramatically over the last decade.

The Strategic Procurement Management programme seeks to familiarise the participants with the goal of aligning procurement unit functions with organisational priorities to develop integrated purchasing strategies and operations. In addition, the programme seeks to expose the challenges and decision frameworks in managing the procurement process as well as interaction with internal and external stakeholders, efficiently and effectively. In this way, the programme is focused on understanding the larger picture of the organisation and procurement’s role in decision making at the middle to senior management level.

During the programme, participants will be exposed to a spectrum of concepts, skills and techniques essential for alleviating the role of procurement leaders to achieve desired results.
