CERTIFIED DIGITAL PROCUREMENT MANAGER

Procurement as Strategic Enabler in Digital Transformation!

Digitalisation brings with it a concentrated load of changes that naturally also have an impact on procurement. The six-day course imparts practical knowledge and skills for a professional analysis and (further) development of your procurement department – to be a strategic enabler of digital transformation for your own department and company-wide!

Our Goal!

Digitalisiation is changing the world of work in companies! All functional areas along the value chain will have to reposition themselves. Therefore, procurement is required to not only make a contribution to the digital transformation – but with its excellent access to markets and suppliers also be a key driver in the process. As a participant, you will be enabled to take on this task and to develop initial solutions for your company!
