Lean Agile Procurement – Credential 1.
Delivered by Sarah Blackie, CEO of Esby & Co
inclusive (4 hours per day) 9.00am to 1.00pm AEDT
Transforming Procurement with Agility:
From Bottlenecks to Breakthroughs.
In today’s fast-moving business world, organisations must rethink how they find and work with internal and external partners. Traditional procurement processes are often too slow and too rigid. To keep pace, businesses need a new way of working-one that enables collaboration, reduces risk, and radically improves time-to-market.
Lean-Agile Procurement (LAP) offers exactly that: a proven framework that helps you move from idea to contract in days or weeks, while still ensuring compliance, alignment, and quality outcomes.
Over three interactive online sessions, you’ll learn how to make procurement faster, more collaborative, and more effective. Instead of relying on slow, traditional processes, this course will show you how to use agile tools and techniques to cut complexity, build stronger partnerships, and deliver better results.
You’ll get hands-on experience with the Lean Procurement Canvas, apply it to your own case, and take away practical skills you can use straight away in your role. By completing the training, you’ll also earn the Certified Lean-Agile Procurement Practitioner (Credential 1) and join a global community of peers driving change in procurement.
Welcome from Sarah.
I’m delighted to welcome you to the Lean-Agile Procurement (LAP1) Training.
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. 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.
Looking forward to an inspiring and productive training journey together!
