Instant Skills Upgrade

Introducing an affordable way to improve Procurement skills – with a time sensitive offer

On 15th June we are launching a new concept in Procurement skills training – Instant Skills Upgrade.

By becoming a member of Instant Skills Upgrade you or your team can access skills training on demand, working at your own pace at times to suit you. Each month, your membership will give you two videos on topics that include:-

How to analyse markets
How to build a Sourcing Strategy
How to create a Category Management Strategy
Value Chain Analysis
How to shape markets
Demand management
How to set goals with your suppliers
How to create value with your suppliers
How to evaluate suppliers
Identifying and working with supplier behaviours
How to analyse costs and prices
Cost down and cost out techniques
How to carry out effective spend analysis
Lifecycle costing and Total Cost of Ownership
How to analyse supplier accounts
Effective contract management
How to manage risk
How to manage change
Communicating and influencing skills
Negotiating techniques
How to measure performance

Each video is about 30 minutes in length plus self-assessment quizzes, templates and checklists. In fact, everything you need to put the learning into practice straight away.
But this is not conventional “talk and chalk” teaching. Students will “peek over my shoulder” as I go through how to implement approaches that I have learned from 25 years of working in both the public and private sectors … practical tips and techniques that work for both large and small organisations and for which I charge my clients £000s as consultancy assignments.

Registering won’t obligate you to anything but what it will do is allow you to access the first lesson for free to look at whenever you have time.

As an additional bonus, the first 50 who register and subsequently become members will also get free private access to our tutor support service. If you are one of the 50 you will be able to ask as many questions as you like, by email, and get the additional benefit of tailoring the training to your specific circumstances.

But do register soon. This offer will be withdrawn at midnight June 14th prior to our official launch on 15th June.
