Your goal is to effectively manage commodity objectives.

The Solution is APD's Commodity and Product Leadership Course.

Our Commodity and Product Leadership Course provides the keys to building, implementing and communicating effective commodity strategies that are tied to your company’s objectives.

Training course participants will benefit from a hands-on “Workshop Approach” designed to provide them with actionable strategies to deliver the purchasing results desired. Your procurement staff will depart with an initiated storyboard and detailed completion plan based on their own personal commodity data.

Participants in APD’s Commodity and Product Leadership course will learn to:

  • Establish measurable commodity objectives that reflect company goals using the proven SMART format.
  • Analyze which party has the power in the buy-sell relationship and develop strategies to improve buy side power.
  • Develop clear and concise storyboards to:
    • Communicate objectives
    • Coordinate cross-functional activities
    • Measure results and goal achievement

All levels of purchasing professionals are welcome. The course will be delivered in a hands-on workshop format, and attendance will be limited.  To reserve a spot in this or a future session, please contact Advanced Purchasing Dynamics, Inc. at 734-927-0836 or email ccharris@apurchasingd.com.

Optimize your performance. Maximize your cost management.  Succeed in today’s environment.  Accomplish all three by joining us for APD’s skill development course.
