Procurement Consultancy, Coaching & Training

We have 20 years’ experience of working with leadership teams to implement procurement change programmes that enable whole organisations to make a permanent shift and swiftly unlock maximum value from their supplier spend.

We co-design performance improvement programmes with senior leaders and transfer world class and lasting behavioural and technical procurement skills to both senior and junior procurement team members to achieve that objective.

Coaching, whether done by us or your line managers, is critical for building and embedding new skills. We support individuals to practice, use and permanently adopt new skills and become experts.

Coaching is a core competence of all our consultants and a specialism of many. We use both well established and emerging coaching tools and techniques as part of individual and team coaching programmes that fully integrate with our broader change programmes.

This is a blended offer that includes small group clinics, peer coaching groups, category team facilitation, coach-the-coach and one-on-one coaching. We respond quickly and closely to your organisation’s needs and give your team ownership of their performance improvement. This provides the most effective route to upskill your team.

Our coaches have a minimum of 10 years line management and consultancy experience to draw on. They recognise the difference between mentoring and coaching and will tailor their approach based on the needs of the category manager at that point in time. They listen closely, engage openly and ask questions designed to challenge the procurement professional, expand their world view and enhance performance. They prompt coachees to uncover the unseen and develop their approaches and solutions and really embed the understanding.
