How a procurement course saved £5million in one negotiation

Imagine walking away from a single negotiation having saved your organisation £5 million. That’s exactly what one delegate achieved after attending my Developing Procurement Talent course.

They told us the course helped them:

• Build stronger stakeholder relationships

• Improve supplier engagement

• Ensure better compliance

Those three improvements, along with the negotiation skills they learned on the course, contributed to a £5m saving - all from one negotiation.

It’s a perfect example of procurement training delivering the fastest return on investment in any sector. As one senior procurement leader put it:

"Leadership training for managers improves customer journeys but costs money. Procurement training saves money - which can then fund those improvements."

We've had brilliant feedback on the Developing Procurement Talent course so far, and we've seen teams put what they've learned into action right away to make significant savings and build better relationships. If you'd like to find out what the course could do for your organisation - and your communication skills - have a look at the course page on my website.
