THE BIG PICTURE

About this course

Procurement Negotiation develops your understanding of spend analysis objectives and alternatives. The learning path connects negotiating value terms and risk allocation with managing suppliers and difficult bargaining, then brings these ideas together through documenting agreements and tracking value. Use the course outline to discuss the scope that fits your role, current experience, and team objectives. A suitable training plan should connect each concept to a relevant work scenario, give you opportunities to explain decisions, and make time for questions and feedback.
