Each procurement organization has to be positioned at the right place in the organization in order to provide value added. Oftentimes mindset, organizational structure, responsibilities, processes and enablers are not too well aligned. Understanding the scope of procurement, developing the right mindset and being able to match structure, process, people and tools is pivotal in this regard. By following procurement processes in practice and an elaborated semester project we will learn how to develop a high impact SS&P organization. These skills are particularly necessary in order to qualify as executive shaping organizations and supervising teams.
The course objectives are:
- To make you familiar with strategic and operational best practice
processes in sourcing & procurement

understand which levers enable a high performance
- To provide you with an understanding of the scope of SS&P
- To experience the best practice examples of how to enable a strategic
SS&P unit as well as to learn the basic requirements (e.g. law)
In general, you should be able after the course to have the right mindset for delivering value add with procurement, know how to set-up efficient and effective operation procurement processes and how to enable the SS&P function to provide strategic value.
