Course Overview

This Course equips procurement and supply chain professionals with the knowledge and practical understanding required to lead technology-enabled transformation of procurement operations. Digital technologies are changing how organizations identify suppliers, conduct sourcing, manage tenders, analyze expenditure, administer contracts, monitor supplier performance and make procurement decisions. The course explores the transition from traditional procurement processes to integrated digital procurement ecosystems. Participants examine e-procurement platforms, e-sourcing, electronic tendering, supplier portals, digital contract management, procurement analytics, workflow automation and emerging applications of artificial intelligence. The course also addresses an important challenge in digital transformation: technology alone does not transform procurement. Participants therefore examine procurement process redesign, data governance, change management, user adoption, cybersecurity and digital transformation governance.
