The aim of the certification “Discovering Purchasing” is to explore the fundamentals of procurement by understanding the processes, tools, and practices. Participants will be able to implement best practices and build a procurement strategy.
As the certification prepares participants to take charge of a portfolio, the training will mainly focus on understanding the role of a buyer, the added value of procurement, the communication with stakeholders, the markets trends, the segmentation and priorities of a portfolio, the suppliers (how to manage the selection, relationship…) and the levers to implement a supplier strategy.
