Lean Agile Procurement (LAP) is returning this May and September, following February’s sell-out event. Did you miss out? Get in quick, tickets are limited!
As the pace of business accelerates, procurement teams are under growing pressure to keep up, stay competitive and engage stakeholders more effectively. It’s time to leave “too slow” and “too rigid” behind with the Lean Agile Procurement course.
This highly interactive virtual workshop is delivered across three hands-on sessions, providing a practical framework to help procurement teams move from idea to contract in days or weeks – without compromising compliance, alignment or quality outcomes.
When: 18-20 May & 7-9 September, 9am-1pm AEST each day
Where: Online
Led by Sarah Blackie, CEO of Esby & Co, the course is perfect for executives, decision-makers and change agents seeking modern ways of working.
It’s also designed for commercial managers, product owners and innovation leads looking to reduce procurement cycles while increasing business value, as well as procurement, sales and governance professionals who need agile contracts and partnerships without sacrificing compliance.
You’ll explore:
- Why procurement needs to change in today’s complex business environment
- Where traditional procurement falls short and how to overcome common pitfalls
- What agile really means for procurement and how it transforms buyer-supplier relationships
- The Lean Procurement Canvas: A practical tool you’ll apply to your own case study
- The five iterative steps of LAP and how to put them into action
- Running a high-impact “Big Room” workshop that brings stakeholders and suppliers together to co-create solutions
- How to use agile techniques for alignment, sourcing, contracting and team setup to deliver faster results with less risk
“Procurement has always been at the heart of how organisations deliver value, but in today’s world, we need new ways of working that are faster, more collaborative and more innovative,” said Sarah.
“This course is designed to give you the tools, techniques and confidence to approach procurement differently, so you can drive real impact in your organisation.
“I encourage you to bring your own challenges and questions into our sessions. The more you engage, the more you’ll take away. I’m excited to work with you, share practical insights and explore how Lean-Agile Procurement can make a difference for you and your team.”
