TECHNICAL TRACK
Workshop - 2 Days
28 & 29 September 2017 YANGON
Thu & Fri
Trainer: Rick Chong
Procurement has developed over the years into a strategic tool for many organizations in government or private sector. From the backend, it has evolved to become the main thrust for organizations to reach their objectives.
Changes in procurement practice are getting more and more necessary and immediate by the day.
In today’s ever increasing globally connected world, well thought through procurement practices that deliver your exact needs will enhance your organization. Conversely, every mistake or fraudulent activity will be magnified a thousand times to hurt you and your organisation in a myriad of angles.
In this 2-day workshop, we will explore the procurement needs of today's organizations by exploring the strategic impetus, transformation of needs, competency standards and impact to the bottomline. Mastering the strategic intent of procurement will lead organizations to better margins and ultimately, long term success.
