Purchasing Management

Improving Purchasing Performance: Developing New Skills for a Changing Profession

The old rules no longer apply. Buyers must develop and apply a new set of skills alongside the old to deliver the value that their organizations need, expect and demand.

Because the procurement function has such a significant impact on the organization, it is imperative that buyers monitor and continue their professional development. This program was specially developed to give buyers the skills they need to succeed in the new procurement environment.

You'll Develop Essential Skills for:

• Consulting with your internal clients
• Fostering positive relationships with suppliers and clients
• Managing the changing roles of buyers
• Becoming more proactive and less reactive
• Emerging as a better and more productive person
• Regaining control of your professional life
