### The Solution

- Working in partnership with the business’s Group Sourcing team, State of Flux created a capability diagnostic survey designed to highlight areas for development.  Over 140 colleagues completed the survey - the outputs of which were discussed with the project team and used to shape an SRM learning programme.
- Originally delivered face-to-face prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the learning programme was easily structured and repurposed into an instructor-led, remotely-delivered programme.
- The learning programme comprised a series of interactive webinars followed by on-the-job assignments, which enabled colleagues to apply the learning to a ‘live’ supplier relationship.  Throughout the assignment period, learners were supported via one-to-one coaching sessions with the course leader.
