Training
One of the most common issues in the corporate world is the poor transfer of skills. By using a reverse classroom method, the participants have higher retention rates and learn how to apply the key concepts immediately in day to day activities. Training format is standard, but can also be personalized to match the needs of a specific organization.
Value Engineering
Price reduction can only get yo so far. In today’s world, where entire supply networks compete with other supply networks. In order to maintain your competitive advantage, you need to extract value from the expertise of your suppliers. Sometimes the value is already there and the financial benefit can be recognized immediately, but most often than not the suppliers need to be trained on how to help you increase your productivity and competitive advantage.
Policies and procedures
It is not enough to have the best tools, strategies and people. Mistakes happen.
That’s why, you need to have a system of checks and balances that allows you to maintain control without sacrificing execution speed. Given the exposure Procurement department has been gaining in the past decades, it’s more important than ever to make sure you maintain control and accountability regarding both how your budget is spent and how you choose your partners to serve your customers (or customer’s customer).
Recruitment
You hire from the same schools. Your employees read the same news, buy the same clothes and use more or less the same tools. You serve similar or even the same customers as your competitors.
How are you going to serve your clients better if you use the same resources?
The only difference that you can make is how you select the best people, train them and keep them.
Will you make the extra effort to select the best people for the department that controls how your money are spent or are you going to treat it on a business as usual cycle?
