Operations & Supply Chain Management
Mini MBA in Digital Transformation in Procurement and Supply Chain
A five-day management programme on leading digital change in procurement and supply chain functions, covering digital strategy, operating models, process reengineering, master data governance, platform selection, automation and analytics, change management, and value realisation. Participants learn to lead a transformation with a defensible roadmap and quantified results.
Introduction
Digital transformation in procurement fails more often on organisation and process than on technology. Systems get bought, data stays inconsistent, and category teams keep working the old way. This Mini MBA in Digital Transformation in Procurement and Supply Chain Training Course gives procurement, supply chain, and transformation leaders a management-level method for changing that. Participants learn digital strategy and operating models, process reengineering, data and master data foundations, automation and analytics, technology selection and business cases, change management, and the governance that sustains results.
Mini MBA in Digital Transformation in Procurement and Supply Chain Course Objectives
- Apply digital strategy frameworks to procurement and supply chain functions.
- Assess digital maturity and set a realistic transformation roadmap.
- Reengineer source-to-pay and order-to-cash processes before automating.
- Establish master data governance, standards, and quality controls.
- Select and integrate P2P, S2P, e-sourcing, and ERP platforms.
- Apply automation, analytics, and artificial intelligence where value is proven.
- Build business cases with quantified benefits and total cost of ownership.
- Lead change management, capability building, and adoption measurement.
- Apply cybersecurity, privacy, and third-party risk controls.
- Measure transformation value with cycle time, cost-to-serve, and savings realisation.
