As procurement continues to evolve, the capabilities professionals need to succeed are evolving with it.
This November, PASA’s Professional Development Month will bring together three practical online learning opportunities designed to help you lead with confidence, adapt responsibly and prepare for what comes next.
The program covers strategic procurement leadership, practical AI application and individual career development, meaning you can select the opportunity most relevant to your current goals or even combine all three to create a tailored development pathway.
Professional Development Month kicks off with the Strategic Procurement Masterclass, delivered online by Jonathan Dutton FCIPS from 11-13 November.
This 12-hour masterclass will help you develop the mindset, tools and confidence needed to lead procurement strategically, providing an opportunity to lift your thinking, strengthen your leadership capability and consider how procurement can deliver greater value across the organisation.
From 18-20 November, Co-AI for Procurement will turn the focus to one of the most significant forces reshaping the procurement profession.
Delivered by Marcus Ward, founder and managing director of Twenty2 Collective, the course will explore how procurement professionals can identify valuable AI opportunities, make informed decisions and build stronger human-AI teams.
With organisations under growing pressure to embrace AI, it cuts through the hype and focuses on practical, responsible application.
You will develop a clearer understanding of where AI can add value, how to assess potential use cases and what effective collaboration between people and technology could look like within procurement.
Professional Development Month concludes with PASA Connect’s Personal Development Day on 27 November.
This returning event enables procurement professionals to take charge of their own development, drawing on practical insights and fresh perspectives from procurement leaders and career specialists.
It will provide dedicated time to reflect on individual strengths, ambitions and next steps, helping you to approach your career with greater clarity and purpose.
Together, the three programs offer a well-rounded development pathway for procurement professionals at different stages of their careers.
This is your opportunity to lead more strategically, adapt confidently to emerging technology and connect personal ambitions with meaningful action.
Whether you attend one program or take advantage of the full month, PASA’s Professional Development Month allows you to step away from day-to-day demands and invest in the capabilities that will shape your future.
Lead strategically. Adapt responsibly. Connect with opportunity.
Make November your month to grow.
