Putting theory into practice
In your everyday work, you often find yourself putting out fires. This five-day course will give you the chance to reflect on structural solutions, creating opportunities for innovation, and strengthening collaborations. The theoretical knowledge that the course provides will help you to translate purposeful strategy into effective practice. You’ll learn to develop a vision for more effective procurement, based on business objectives. The in-depth tracks also cover the many practical challenges you encounter in your industry: complex chains with trade barriers, international legislation and regulations, incoterms and the risks and consequences associated with import duties.
Each disruption in the supply chain affects customer satisfaction and business performance, so we also focus on optimising contingency planning. During the course, you’ll discover that there are many as yet unexploited opportunities in this area. Because it can often be a challenge to promote new insights to your stakeholders internally, we also cover outside-in thinking. This will put you in an even better position to assume your role and perform it effectively for the business and your suppliers, so that you immediately deliver added value.
