Make procurement faster, more collaborative and effective with Lean Agile Procurement

Lean Agile Procurement

With the world of business moving faster than ever before, the pressure is on procurement to keep pace, stay competitive and adopt new ways of engaging stakeholders. Say goodbye to ‘too slow’ and ‘too rigid’ for good with PASA’s Lean Agile Procurement (LAP) this February.

This highly interactive virtual workshop spans three hands-on sessions, delivering a framework that helps procurement teams transition from idea to contract in days or weeks – without forsaking compliance, alignment and quality outcomes.

Led by Sarah Blackie, CEO of Esby & Co, the course is perfect for executives, decision makers and change agents looking for modern ways of working.

It’s also well-suited to commercial managers, product owners and innovation leads wanting to reduce procurement cycles while boosting business value, plus procurement, sales and governance professionals who need agile contracts and partnerships without sacrificing compliance.

When: 16-18 February, 9am-1pm AEDT each day
