Course Content

The fourteen-module curriculum provides a ready-made way to deliver effective, results-based Supplier Management Training.

Core Modules (1-4): Begin with a comprehensive foundation in supplier management, covering end-to-end processes from onboarding to contract termination. This section emphasises the critical role of cross-business stakeholder engagement.

Advanced SRM Modules (5-8): Progress to advanced concepts, focusing on strategic supplier relationships and value creation beyond contract terms. Learn to drive value through collaboration and innovation.

Expert Level Modules (9-14): Finally, delve into expert-level practices used by professionals in the field. These masterclass modules, delivered as a series of webinars, focus on creating new value through strategic planning and effective communication.

Every module is accompanied by a reference handbook that is designed to support transfer of training to the job.

• Prior to each face-to-face and virtual session, we email students an electronic (PDF format) reference booklet for the module.
• The reference material is designed to accompany the workshop and provide the visuals and a complete set of notes so that the student has a complete record of the material taught.
• Our reference manuals work as a great resource for students to refresh and revisit what was covered in a training course weeks or months later.

Learning Objectives

Tailor for Context
This course content can be customised to fit the specific context of your industry or sector. We incorporate relevant regulatory drivers and requirements into key topics such as governance and risk management. Additionally, we can seamlessly integrate your organisation’s procurement and supply chain policies and processes into the curriculum. This ensures that our training not only aligns with best practices, but is also directly applicable to your unique operational environment.

Tailor for Scope
We offer flexible learning programmes that can be precisely tailored to meet the specific needs of your audience. By selectively turning Core, Advanced, and Expert modules ‘on’ or ‘off,’ we can deliver the exact training required, just in time. For instance, if your team already excels in contract and performance management but needs a deeper understanding of strategic supplier relationships or value release programmes, we can focus exclusively on those areas to ensure a targeted skills uplift. This modular approach ensures that all training is relevant and impactful, maximising learning outcomes.

Tailor for Delivery Environment
This curriculum is designed to be versatile and effective in both traditional face-to-face workshops and contemporary virtual learning environments. Regardless of the delivery mode, all sessions are led by live instructors and emphasise action learning methods. This approach ensures that participants not only learn the theory but also apply it in real-world scenarios, reinforcing the transfer of knowledge to the workplace. Whether you choose in-person or virtual delivery, our training remains interactive, engaging, and results-focused.
