Hankintojen johtaminen
As a procurement professional, how do you develop cooperation with external resources in your organization? Are you utilizing supplier market analysis systematically?
Procurement has a crucial role in increasing revenue through an external resource network. However, the way in which external resources are managed, utilized, and developed is key to growth and profitability. Treating the supplier network as an external resource has a broad impact on the policies and practices of the different functions of the company, improving both internal and external collaboration.

The program offers a comprehensive overview of strategic and effective procurement management. You will deepen your knowledge in areas such as creating a sourcing strategy, managing the supplier market and supplier relationships, categorizing sourcing, and using data and analytics in sourcing. The training will strengthen your change management skills and provide you with the tools you need to start development work in your own organization.
The content has been chosen to best support organizations that are ready to improve the role of procurement to better support business objectives, utilizing external resources and understanding the whole.

The training consists of six modules (11 days). The themes are introduced by experts and professors and the challenges related to the themes are solved together using various methods and tools.

Over the past decade, experts at Aalto University’s Department of Industrial Engineering and Management have researched how a management system should be developed to utilize the growth and profit potential offered by external resource networks. These conclusions are studied not only during the modules, but also with the help of Kari Tanskanen’s book “Ulkoisten resurssien johtaminen”.
