Strategy, Leadership and Governance
At the core of the sourcing cycle lies strategy, leadership and governance.
These activities create a sound foundation for SRM, drive strategic focus and energy, and are essential capabilities for organisations to develop and maintain.
Topics include risk, governance, leadership and decisions concerning make / buy, types of suppliers and offshore / onshore.
Contracting and Commercials
Courses that focus on the contractual and commercial foundations of supplier relationships.
The courses cover a wide range of topics including the principles of contracting for non-lawyers, an overview of commercial models used in strategic sourcing arrangements and how to select the right supplier to deliver long term, sustainable value in supplier contracts.
Transition and Change
Once a new supplier arrangement has been agreed there is the need for the service in scope to be transitioned into the new arrangement.
Transition can often be as complex as it is important. These courses provide learners with tools, techniques and a sound understanding of how to manage the transition, exit and change challenges successfully.
Relationship and Performance Management
Setting up supplier arrangements is a part of the journey. The value of supplier relationships though are realised through effective performance and relationship management.
RQV provide a powerful, tailored and long term programme to support the SRM team to identify value, management stakeholder, engage suppliers and build effective long term strategies that maximise the value from key suppliers.
