Overview

Procurement professionals around the world stand on the threshold of a new age. The old paradigm of cost reduction and cost efficiency is drawing to a close. New and revolutionary concepts are spinning from the frenzied technological leaps of our time; especially in digital transformation. In this dynamic, complex and disruptive era, procurement leaders and professionals the world over are searching for a secure, successful future.

With the advent of the digital age, expectations for procurement are no longer confined to the contribution to the bottom line. Backed by real-time access to market data and trends, procurement can offer valuable information for top-line strategic decisions. In addition, procurement - informed by detailed information, analytical tools, and collaboration technologies - will need to focus on traditional procurement activities to become more sophisticated in category management, supplier relationship management, and strategic sourcing. Surviving in this new digital reality will require procurement to move beyond bottom-line efficiency by embracing digital and transforming the supply chain to become a valuable strategic business partner.

Designed for managers, executives, and specialists whose functions and responsibilities are involved in the planning, organising, negotiating and control of purchasing activities, this advanced diploma is made up of two separate programmes, namely the Advanced Certificate in Procurement Essentials and Advanced Certificate in Strategic Sourcing.

Participants will be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Strategic Procurement issued by Singapore Management University upon successful completion of both the advanced certificate programmes.

The full diploma programme comprises the following

Programme 1
Advanced Certificate in Procurement Essentials
This advanced certificate aims to develop a comprehensive and strategic set of skills required of a world-class procurement professional to implement the most up-to-date procurement strategies and policies.

Programme 2
Advanced Certificate in Strategic Sourcing
This advanced certificate will focus on the supply network, value creation, risk, and uncertainty in the supply chain and the overall responsiveness and resilience of the supply chain.

Assessment

Upon completion of both the Advanced Certificate in Procurement Essentials and Advanced Certificate in Strategic Sourcing, within 3 years of commencing the first module, you will be awarded an Advanced Diploma in Strategic Procurement
