Jigsaw Workshops
There are three main reasons why procurement professional’s knowledge can become stale and outdated.
- Market Dynamics - For many businesses there is an ongoing pressure to constantly develop current employee’s in order to meet the demands of an ever changing market. New procurement concepts and strategies, advances in technology and constantly revised corporate directions can leave many employees feeling detached and unable to keep up with the industry they work in.
- Micro process knowledge - The fact that employees are working for one employer means that their current knowledge is based solely around one organisation’s procurement activities.
- Limited previous experience - It is a fact that many procurement professionals have fallen into the profession rather than choosing it as a career and therefore most of their experience in the field is a result of ‘on job’ training as opposed to job specific training.
A lack of formal training or skills validation can result in a transactional and one dimensional methodology that is unlikely to deliver the best commercial outcome to a business.
All of these factors mean that unless procurement professionals can gain access to up to date market knowledge and techniques they can lack the appropriate procurement tools needed to capture value for their organisation.
