Roadmap for the Transformation of Procurement

This book shows you how to transform Procurement in your company.

Over the last few decades, Procurement has evolved into an important corporate function. Its main task is not just to generate savings and reduce costs, but to create a comprehensive competitive advantage for all external spend.

Management and the board often welcome such developments but forget that it is not the sole responsibility of Procurement to achieve this state, but to set the course for change as the manager of transformation.

Negotiation training in Procurement

The ability to successfully prepare and conduct a negotiation is one of the fundamental competencies in Procurement. The further development of a Procurement organisation or individual employees is possible with very simple means. This is exactly where this book comes in: It shows how negotiation skills can be strengthened and improved and how negotiation basics in Procurement can be designed in such a way that all employees can optimally prepare for negotiations, conduct them in a targeted manner and bring them to a conclusion.

The book serves as a self-learning guide and at the same time supports people who want to organise negotiation training for their own Procurement department.
