Strategic Sourcing & Category Management

Effective procurement is not only about buying at the lowest price. Organizations need to understand their spending, know their supply markets, select the right sourcing approach, manage important categories, and build supplier relationships that deliver long-term value. This practical programme equips participants with the skills to improve sourcing decisions and manage procurement categories more strategically. Participants will learn how to analyze spending, understand supply markets, develop category strategies, evaluate sourcing options, select suppliers, and identify opportunities to reduce costs, manage risks, and improve business value.
