Strategic Sourcing and Procurement for Southern Africa
Exploring key intelligent procurement practices to achieve significant long term savings
Event Date: 7-8 Oct 2010
Location: Premier Hotel O.R. Tambo, Johannesburg , South Africa

Due to today's competitive business climate, all procurement departments across the length and breadth of the country are feeling the effects of speed and competition, and are at the best of times under pressure to deliver and to do so in a cost effective and sustainable manner.

But even with this pressure, most procurement groups have failed to evolve with global practices and remain in a rut, using the same old historically-based tools and techniques dating back decades... the real question here is WHY?

Why stick with the same old methods that aren't moving your department forward and making you more competitive? What are you doing to identify the root causes? What are you doing to prepare for even greater pressure?

Attend this interactive 2 day event to gain cutting edge strategies on the latest cost cutting techniques. We ensure that each training course as well as all of our subject matter experts are continuously in tune with both international and current trends in the market place .
