Procurement & Supply Chain Academies

Procurement & Supply Chain Academies

The procurement and supply chain function is a strategic competency that directly impacts an organization’s costs, quality, and agility. This academy strengthens the human and competency aspects of procurement processes through modules ranging from career development to professionalism, and from coaching to front-line leadership.

Program Overview

The Human and Competency Dimensions in Supply Chain Processes: Procurement & Supply Chain Academies

Procurement & Supply Chain Academies go beyond the technical aspects of procurement processes to focus on developing the strategic, commercial, and managerial competencies of the professionals who manage these processes. The programs take a holistic approach to various areas of development, ranging from career development and professional conduct to coaching skills and leadership.


The goal is to help procurement teams evolve from a structure that merely manages operational processes into a business partner that supports business objectives, builds strong partnerships with stakeholders, and adds value to the organization’s strategic procurement capabilities.

This workshop teaches professionals who are just starting out in the world of procurement and purchasing how to manage their careers effectively. Participants identify their own values and strengths; they set short- and long-term career goals in the field of procurement. Rather than falling into the "I started the job, so I’ve made it" trap, they develop the identity of a procurement professional committed to continuous learning.

Scope of the Training

Personal Values and Skills Inventory
Setting Career Goals in the Supply Chain Field
Expectation Management in the Business World
The habit of continuous learning

New hires on the purchasing and procurement team, procurement specialists early in their careers, and employees on rotation.

A Strengthened Professional Identity

This workshop goes beyond the technical knowledge expected of a procurement professional; it teaches participants how to project a confident demeanor in a corporate setting. Through concrete examples, participants internalize the importance of courtesy, confidentiality, keeping one’s word, and maintaining a professional demeanor during conflicts when communicating with suppliers, internal clients, and teammates. Professionalism is addressed as a set of behaviors that can be learned.

Scope of the Training

Corporate Etiquette and Polite Communication
Time Management and Keeping Your Word
Privacy and Professional Ethics
A Professional Demeanor in Times of Conflict

This program trains coaches and mentors to ensure that the procurement team’s knowledge is shared throughout the organization. Experienced procurement professionals develop the next generation of procurement managers by equipping them with the skills of an "inquiry-based coach" and a "guiding mentor." Rather than a command-and-control approach, an environment is fostered that empowers learners to generate their own solutions.

Scope of the Training

The Difference Between Coaching and Mentoring
Effective Questioning and Active Listening
Developing learners without directing them
Structuring a Coaching/Mentoring Session

Who Can Benefit from This Program

Senior procurement professionals, supply chain managers, and leaders who want to develop their team members.

Concrete Outcomes

Human Development
A culture of independent learning

This program goes beyond individual coaching competencies to establish a coaching/mentoring system across the entire procurement organization. The program outlines who will serve as coaches and who as mentors, how pairings will be made, and how the program’s effectiveness will be measured. The goal is to transition from a situation where "just a few people are providing coaching" to a "fully functioning organizational development system.".

Scope of the Training

Architecture of the Coaching/Mentoring System
Matching and Process Design
Role Definitions and Expectation Management
Program Measurement and Evaluation

Who Can Benefit from This Program

Procurement HR/L&D managers and procurement managers who set up corporate learning systems.

Supply continuity is ensured through Gemba (the place where work is done) visits and hands-on problem-solving exercises.
