Procurement Analytics

Harness data to drive better procurement decisions and demonstrate the value procurement delivers.

What is this course about?

Procurement teams that can articulate their contribution through data consistently secure greater resources, credibility and influence within their organisations. Yet many procurement functions still struggle to turn the data they hold into compelling insights and actionable intelligence.

This course covers the key areas of procurement analytics: spend analysis, savings tracking, supplier performance metrics, category insights and presenting procurement data to stakeholders. You will learn to use analytics to identify hidden opportunities in your spend, track and report performance with rigour, and present procurement’s contribution in a way that resonates with senior leadership and the wider business. You will leave with the skills to build a genuinely data-driven procurement function.
