Agile Contracting & Supplier Management
Gain executive-level control over procurement by mastering Agile Contracting and Vendor Management; enabling sharper specifications, stronger contract clarity, and strategic supplier selection to reduce risk, accelerate delivery, and maximise organisational value
Master the principles of Agile Contracting and Supplier Management
Course Overview
In today’s VUCA world (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), organisations face increasing pressure to make faster decisions, adapt to change, and deliver results through complex supplier ecosystems. Traditional contracting approaches, designed for predictable environments, often fail to meet these demands. They are rigid, slow to adapt, and unable to accommodate evolving requirements without costly amendments, disputes, or delays. This creates significant financial, operational, and reputational risks for businesses.
Learning Outcomes
- Apply Agile Contracting principles in a VUCA environment – Master adaptive contracts using Agile, Relational Contracting, and outcome-based models to enhance flexibility, reduce disputes, and improve delivery success in complex projects
- Translate business needs into clear, outcome-focused specifications – Learn structured techniques like Statement of Work (SoW) design and scope management models to prevent ambiguity, scope creep, and supplier misalignment
- Use supplier positioning and segmentation models to drive strategy – Apply tools such as the Kraljic Portfolio Matrix and supplier preferencing to identify strategic vendors, manage risk, and maximise business value
